Olivia Cozzolino : Impact Practice is a business advisory and facilitation consultancy that works hands-on with organisations doing meaningful work.
Doing work that creates real change asks more of you than most. When you need specialist knowledge you don't have in-house, or simply the time and capacity to get things done properly, that's where I come in.
I've worked across social enterprises, government, corporate and the non-profit sector, which means I understand your world not just in theory, but from experience.
The organisations I work with are often juggling commercial pressures, community or stakeholder expectations, government requirements and funding relationships all at once. That complexity is exactly what I'm built for.

Running a social enterprise means balancing purpose and profit, often with less time and resource than the job really demands. Whether you need specialist expertise, a fresh perspective, or simply the capacity to get something done properly, that's where I come in, with practical, hands-on support grounded in real sector experience.
Integrating social impact into your business is the right thing to do. But this stuff is harder than it looks, and getting it wrong is costly. I work with ESG managers, procurement teams and social impact leads to make that work practical, credible and effective. I understand both the corporate and social sector worlds, which means I can bridge the gap between good intentions and real outcomes.
Government teams working on social procurement or community and economic development are stretched, and the accountability pressures are real. Having worked inside state government, I understand the bureaucracy, the compliance requirements and the need to demonstrate value for public money. I also bring deep social sector expertise — so you get someone who understands both sides and can hit the ground running.
When you're investing in creating change, getting it right matters enormously. I help philanthropists and funders design grant programs that actually work, make confident funding decisions, and support the organisations they fund to succeed. Having worked on both sides of the grant process, I know what good looks like, and I know how to spot when it doesn't.
If you're a creative practitioner feeling overwhelmed by the business side of things, whether it's finances, operations or strategy, I can help you sort it out. As a creative myself, I understand the tension between your practice and the business stuff. That way you can focus on what you do best: creating.
Sometimes the best thinking happens when you're not sitting at a desk. If you've got a business or impact challenge to work through and you're open to doing things a little differently, I offer free Walk and Talk sessions in the Dandenong Ranges, just an hour from Melbourne. We walk, we talk, and you leave with clarity and a fresh perspective.
