The introductory element of the paper "Development of the social impact assessment system Impact Solutions Bureau" is a comprehensive study of the conceptualisation of "social impact" based on a systematic and critical analysis of the literature. By familiarising herself with academic and practitioner journals, the author refines the list of social impact evaluation models, shedding light on the diversity of approaches to the evaluation process. In addition, the identification of drivers and barriers to the implementation of a social impact assessment system based on the experience of Russian organisations enriches the understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this area. This paper details the design of a social impact assessment system for Impact Solutions Bureau, based on the theory of change and carefully considering the internal context of the company.
