Collective Impact Compete Co-exist Communicate Cooperate Coordinate Collaborate Integrate Competition for clients, resources, partners, public attention. Inter-agency information sharing e.g. networking Org’s systematically adjust and align work with each other for greater outcomes. Can mean co-location. Fully integrated programs planning, funding. May mean org’s merge, co locate, share common staff, systems etc. Longer term interaction based on shared mission, goals; shared decision-makers and resources. Alignment of common agenda & measures for a shared vision – across sectors – focused on systems change – may adopt all / some ‘Co’ or integration activities. No systematic connection between agencies. As needed, often informal, interaction on discrete activities or projects. Turf Trust
