Overview
Who we are.
Fast Track Impact is the training arm of the Institute for Methods Innovation (IMI), a non-profit research organisation. We exist to help researchers turn their work into real-world change, and to put the methods for doing it within everyone’s reach.
For over a decade we have researched what makes impact happen, distilled it into practical methods, and taught those methods to researchers, teams and institutions around the world. Everything we teach is grounded in evidence and tested in our own practice.
Why Fast Track Impact?
Methods trusted by researchers worldwide.
Our approaches are used across disciplines, institutions and borders, because they are practical, evidence-based and built by people who do the work themselves.
