What is Impact?

Impact is a powerful effect that something, especially something new, has on a situation. An impact is a change in an outcome caused by an action. An impact can be positive or negative; intended or unintended; short, medium, or long-term; expected or unexpected; temporary or permanent; and have reach or significance. Therefore impact = change.
