“We have worked together for years and have recommended them to dozens of organisations. I do not know anyone else in Estonia with comparable experience and expertise in impact assessment. What sets Stories for Impact apart is their ability to work with organisations at very different stages of development, from start-ups to well-established organisations. They are also capable of measuring the impact of initiatives operating in a wide range of fields and involving very different levels of conceptual complexity.”

- Pirkko Valge, CEO, Good Deed Foundation

“An invaluable partner who has helped us structure and synthesise what we already had, creating a logical framework and a clear action plan for moving forward. Our collaboration has always been exceptionally substantive. Jaan Aps has an almost intuitive grasp of the issues at hand and what needs to be done. He is a very quick thinker and excels at reading between the lines. He immerses himself fully in the subject, consistently producing practical and well-considered results.”

- Anna-Kaisa Oidermaa, founder and CEO, Peaasjad

“Jaan Aps has an excellent ability to get to the heart of a matter and listen attentively. He also brings his own solutions to the table, helping us assess whether what we are doing fits into the bigger picture. He always has ideas for making discussions more engaging and encouraging people to contribute in a meaningful way.”

- Margus Oro, CEO, SOS Children’s Villages Estonia

“Every commitment was honoured. Jaan Aps was able to process a vast amount of information, take all relevant aspects into account, and bring them together into a coherent whole.”
