Difficulty level · 2 (Medium)
- 🌳 Prioritize actions of green infrastructure
- ⚖️ Impact × Viability with target weights
- 📊 Matrix and ranking automatic + annual tracking
What is the purpose of this Impact Viability (IViB) matrix?
The Impact-Viability Matrix (IViB) prioritizes projects according to their environmental/social impact and his viability (cost, timeframe, dependencies, management). Bring real examples, weightable criteria, quadrant chart and a ranking Automatic system for defending decisions in committees and annual planning. Ideal for areas such as environment, urban planning, green spaces, and management.
- ✅ Technical + operational approach, committee ready
- ✅ Weights adaptable by municipality and context
- ✅ Automatic matrix and graph by quadrants
- ✅ Compatible with Google Sheets and Excel
How does it work?
1) Define criteria and weights
Adjust Impact (environmental/social) and Viability (cost, timeframe, management) to your context.
2) Evaluate projects 0–5
They are calculated weighted averages and position in the matrix automatically.
3) Prioritize and follow
Use the ranking and the annual indicators to plan and defend in committee.

Our way of understanding consulting
In Direction & Results We believe that a municipal planning tool should not complicate technical management, but rather contribute clarity, focus and shared criteria. That's why we designed our Impact-Viability Matrix (IViB), A practical template that helps prioritize actions green and blue infrastructure with a technical, environmental and management basis, without the need for complex software or endless consultancies.
The matrix is inspired by change management and continuous improvement methodologies, such as those promoted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 37101 on sustainable development in communities) and the guidelines of the European Commission on urban green planning and climate adaptation. Both highlight an essential idea: simplicity and traceability of criteria They are strategic for making sustainable and transparent decisions in local government.
Our approach combines the analysis of environmental, social and urban impact with the evaluation of technical, economic and organizational feasibility, generating an automatic ranking that guides the prioritization of projects and their presentation to committees or calls for proposals. Thus, each action is evaluated not only for its cost or ambition, but also for its tangible return for citizens and real municipal execution capacity.
We apply this logic to all our institutional consulting services: Green and Blue Infrastructure Strategy, Environmental Project Management and Institutional communication with a citizen focus, aligned with the principles of the Spanish Urban Agenda and the European Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change.
Because to transform the territory with real impact, it is not enough to have projects: We need to know which ones to activate first, how to measure their progress, and how to demonstrate their value to the city.
