  1. The Power of CollaborationModels of Collective Impact MBS Symposium #2 24 October 2012

  2. Harnessing the multiplier effect … through constructive collaboration, dialogue and exchange • Constructive collaboration, dialogue and exchange has a multiplier effect. • It can help disseminate good ideas and practices and drive innovation as organisations bring together their different perspectives, experiences, networks, knowledge and expertise. In doing that it can act as a mechanism for systemic change. • The Trust Company is keen to help the organisations that it supports to harness that multiplier effect by: • Helping them to clearly articulate their ‘theory of change’ and models of collaboration • Supporting collaboration, dialogue and exchange between organisations within its funding portfolio and • Helping funded organisations to engage with other organisations and stakeholders outside of that group. • The purpose of this session is to: • Explore the models or ‘theories of change’ that are being applied across the group and • Understand the role that collaboration currently plays in those models.

  3. Proposed approach • Discuss the different models or ‘theories of change’ that are being used across the group to help improve the delivery of educational outcomes. • In doing that we will look at what is the same and what is different in terms of: • What you are each doing • The ‘change levers’ that you are looking to pull • The outcomes that you are trying to achieve and • The sorts of things that you need to measure to assess how you are going. • Review some basic principles about the different forms that collaboration can take and what makes it work. • Have a discussion about the ways that the group is already involved in (or could harness) collaborative activity to increase its collective impact.
