Learnings of the Organization from a Collective Impact Perspective

 

We are pleased to share this document. We recognize that a 50-page report evaluating collective impact may not be easy reading for all. In fact, one of the takeaways from the process of crafting the report was (re)discovering the ways that jargon can introduce barriers, preventing not just our communities from fully engaging with us, but also our colleagues. We learned how many different understandings of collective impact our team had been working with, over time and between initiatives.

This lack of common understanding of some of the basic tools we use led us to a cohort-based systems practice course,  which is described in our A Year of Transforming report.

That report, along with this one, are pieces of our five-part series of shared reflection and rebuilding our common understanding of who IC is and what we do.

The other documents are:

1. Inspiring Communities’ Strategic Directions 2022
2. A Year of Transforming (2021-22)
3. Learnings of the Organization from a Collective Impact Perspective

and two more to come:

4. Evaluation and Learning Systems Framework
5. End of year 2022-23 report
