Where strategy becomes change.
The transformation and advisory company of Taaeen Group. Eight practices, one standard: we stay until the change holds.
01What impact+ is
Where corporate direction becomes operating reality.
Most advisory work ends at the recommendation. A document lands, a workshop closes, and the organisation converts intent into operating reality on its own. That conversion is where transformation succeeds or fails.
impact+ exists to hold that stage. Eight practices built so a single partner can carry an institution from the decision through to the point where the new way of working is simply how things are done.
- 8Practices, under one accountability, on one engagement.
- 14Years alongside government and enterprise clients in the region.
- 9Documented case engagements, named where clients consent.
02Our Practice
Eight practices.
Each stands on its own. Together they cover the distance between a decision taken at board level and a change that has settled into the organisation.
Strategy & Transformation
Corporate and functional strategy, operating model design, and the transformation programmes that carry them into practice.
Human Capital
Human resources operating models, competency framework development, workforce planning, and culture and change management.
Assessment Services
Talent, leadership, succession and recruitment assessment on Hogan, SHL and Saville instruments, in Arabic and English.
Employability Services
National workforce programmes run end to end assessment, development, placement, and outcome tracking after people are in role.
Management Advisory
Board and governance advisory, organisational review, and senior counsel alongside a leadership team through a difficult decision.
Government Excellence
Excellence journeys against the region's award frameworks, from diagnostic through submission cycle to continuous improvement.
PMO & Governance
Project management office design and operation, portfolio governance, delivery assurance and benefits realisation.
Procurement Transformation
Category strategy, source-to-contract and procure-to-pay digitisation, supplier relationship management and cost transformation.
03Government excellence
Home turf first.
Excellence frameworks are not interchangeable. An entity in Abu Dhabi is judged against Abu Dhabi's standard, and that is where our practice starts.
We work across the Abu Dhabi Award for Excellence in Government Performance (ADAEP), the King Abdulaziz Quality Award in Saudi Arabia, the Dubai Government Excellence Programme, and the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) model in that order of depth.
Seven service groups run from assessment and diagnostics through programme design, the award submission cycle, assessment readiness, post-assessment improvement, capability building, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification support.
Information security and artificial intelligence management standards ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 are delivered by AI+ rather than impact+.
04Frameworks and platforms
What we have built ourselves.
- Human capital
PEARL™
A human capital framework developed in-house and introduced from 2026, with trademark filing in progress. It sits inside the Human Capital practice rather than running through everything it is new, and we would rather say so than overstate it.
- Built by AI+
Taaeen Intelligence
Mature production platforms supporting assessment delivery and employability programme tracking at scale. Built and operated by AI+, included at no additional cost during an impact+ engagement.
- Quarterly
The impact+ Signal
A quarterly publication carrying original regional research rather than restated global findings the productivity ceiling in large Gulf institutions, and original data from our own employability programmes.
Read in Insights - Ninety minutes
The impact+ Diagnostic
Ninety minutes with a senior partner on the problem you are actually facing, followed by a three-page written brief. Never sold, never invoiced, yours to keep.
