Maximize Value, Realize Potential: Navigate Your Business Case with Clarity
Welcome to Impact Pulse!
Welcome to the Impact Pulse Notion Template, designed specifically for managing business cases with a keen eye on value creation. This template isn't about managing day-to-day tasks or projects; it's about understanding and maximizing the value your initiatives bring to your business, from the tangible deliverables to the broader impacts and advantages.
Understanding the Core Concepts
Before diving into the template, let's clarify the key components you'll be working with:
- Outputs: Think of these as the immediate results or deliverables your business case aims to produce. Unlike a school project, these could be a new product design, a market research report, or a customer feedback system.
- Outcomes: These are the changes or effects that occur as a result of implementing your outputs. For a business case, this might mean improved customer satisfaction, higher efficiency in operations, or increased brand awareness.
- Benefits: Here, we focus on the added value or advantages stemming from the outcomes. Benefits in a business context often translate to increased revenue, cost savings, or competitive edge.

💡 Outputs are what you create, outcomes are what happen because of what you created, and benefits are the good things that come from those outcomes.
