Collective Impact Links
sum

Please, everyone, begin posting annotated links for our links page here in our forum.  One of the conditions for collective impact is continuous communication.  If we activate this forum, that will be step one towards our COO becoming the powerhouse it needs to be.

Three links for the upcoming "Collective Impact" section of our links page.  More links will be forthcoming on this seminal idea.  Every one of these articles is worth a full read.

1) What is Collective Impact? - "In order to create lasting solutions to social problems on a large-scale, organizations - including those in government, civil society, and the business sector - need to coordinate their efforts and work together around a clearly defined goal." - simple but it is carefully thought through and analyzed.

2) Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2011 "Collective Impact" - Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination, yet the social sector remains focused on the isolated intervention of individual organizations." THE FIVE CONDITIONS OF COLLECTIVE SUCCESS: Common Agenda, Shared Measurement Systems, Mutually Reinforcing Activities, Continuous Communication, Backbone Support Organizations.

3) Collective Impact: A Game Changing Model for the Social Sector from the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation.  NCDD presents the idea as a strategy for large scale collaborative change and bills this article as a "primer".
