Collaboration – with funders, allies and community partners – is a significant part of how our work is getting done. Collective Impact is a unique form of collaboration that is demonstrating powerful results on complex community issues like educational achievement, reducing infant mortality, and environmental regeneration.
On this first webinar in the series, attendees with learn from Sylvia Cheuy of Tamarack about the five conditions and three pre-conditions of Collective Impact and hear stories of it in action. The session will explore opportunities to use Collective Impact as a framework to advance lasting systems change that is beyond the scope of any one sector alone.
Amelia Psmythe of the USBC will also speak about how to approach Collective Impact principles to guide cross-sector policy change, at a pace and scale that works for your coalition. It’s not necessary to go "all in" on Collective Impact, change your entire organization, or hire an expert consultant. Even minor shifts in perspective and application of the right tools at the right time can make a big difference for your collaborative work.
