Summary:This paper briefly describes the topical challenge of impact measurement of an organisation, and focuses on my own organisation BOFIT. For me this paper has been the final challenge before retirement. The topic is very important now when we can constantly read about rankings, indicators, research assessments, impact factors and metrics. In this paper different possibilities to increase impact are considered but it is also very important to be aware of the newest recommendations how it should be measured. Which of the indicators could be the best for this organisation so that they help to navigate to the desired direction? Both quantity- and quality-based indicators are considered.
