Our Method, Collective Impact:
Collective Impact (n) - A community coming together around a backbone organization as a team of equals to collaborate on solutions that no one organization can implement on its own.
Collective Impact is a structured way to unite a community of diverse people and achieve truly meaningful social change. By bringing everyone to the table and building relationships between them, Collective Impact accomplishes a community's goals through key elements of success:
- A Common Agenda, collectively putting forth a unified vision of a better community.
- Shared Measurements, providing meaningful feedback to everyone involved.
- Mutually Reinforcing Activities, avoiding duplication in favor of cooperation.
- Continuous Communication, reinforcing trust and relationships between partners.
- A Strong Backbone, orchestrating the hard work done through a unified initiative.
