Nudge connects people and organizations to realize bottom-up initiatives that contribute to positive and lasting change to our society. Nudge believes that knowledge and expertise is worth more when shared, and it facilitates this through its platform and broad network. By enabling bottom-up initiatives Nudge aims to provide opportunities to take action, which are accessible to everyone. Small and big activities together have a positive impact on our society, from terminating your phonebook subscription to starting an energy cooperative. Nudge believes that every step counts and invites you to act and contribute to society in a positive way. Nudge’s statement that small and larger steps together have a positive impact on society currently remains under-defined. What is this positive impact, socially, economically and ecologically? In order to clearly define what this positive impact is, this graduation project proposes a collaborative impact analysis process that allows different people to define the impact of their initiatives together. Furthermore, a communication strategy is proposed for using this impact definition to stimulate people and organizations to act and contribute to society in a positive way.
