Meet In Place Impact

We design community-centric frameworks that allow business and government leaders to do well by doing good.

In Place Impact believes that modern business owners and leaders are the most important people in the sustainable future room. We are the company that designed Impact Economics, which is a Capitalism for Good framework that provides benefits for every stakeholder in a community, city, or country, while also helping to create communities which become economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable for ALL residents.

Via our Impact Economics Maestro Network, we also train and certify individuals, teams, and public/private partnerships to create new, or expand existing locally focused (In Place), Consulting Companies. Each certification comes with an exclusive territory license, allowing the holders to embed Impact Economics "In Place", in their own communities, cities, or countries.

Our Story

Tired of listening to "Change Makers" malign businesses and their owners, and frustrated that the organizations he supported through donations for causes he cared about were not putting a dent in those problems, our Founder chose to create something new. Knowing that "Making a Profit While Making a Difference" platform he co-created in 1993 worked, he started designing new economic-ecosystem frameworks that use business and economics to solve socioeconomic and environmental problems. It was important to him that it be inclusive of marginalized people as solution innovators, in addition to being solution recipients.

In 2006, Stuart and his partner sold the company they had started in 1991, and after an 18-month transition and another sale, by 2008 he was ready to start bringing his vision to life.

In Place Impact is a Unique Consulting Company

What We Value

We believe that creating local economies that thrive is an imperative. All over the world local economics are struggling because way too much capital is leaving the local economic ecosystem, and there is not enough local innovation to create companies that can replace it.

Furthermore, segments of communities and cities are being blocked from receiving the CapitalS (the "S" is very important) they need to participate in and personally benefit from creating a sustainable future.

We value local. We value local cultures, constructs, histories, ceremonies, and traditions. We value doing our work "In Place", and helping all stakeholders contribute to increasing economic vibrancy while they themselves do well by doing good.

In Place

Maestros do their work "In Place". That way they ensure that increases in economic vibrancy can remain within their communities while unique local traditions etc., can remain intact.

Education

The award winning classes Maestros donate to colleges and schools are based on In Place Impact's "Consequential Learning" platform. They help move local education into this century.

Innovation & Investment

Maestros help their communities create vibrant hubs of impact innovation. All residents have the opportunity to attend free classes, providing access to the "CapitalS" they need to bring their own solutions to life.

Capitalism for Good

All of the work done by Maestros is founded upon the platform of "Making A Profit While Making A Difference". They help their clients increase their own profits while having a greater local impact.

Shared Values Fee Structure

Maestros work on a unique shared values fee structure. They ask their clients to redirect 20% of the fees they would have been paid to help fund local education and innovation.

Equality of Opportunity

Maestros ensure that every community sector, segment, or stakeholder is included in their frameworks where what is good for one, is good for all.
