What is Collective Impact? • A process that seeks to solve a specific, often complex social problem • It involves a centralized infrastructure, supported by dedicated staff • It must have the commitment of important actors from different sectors • It involves the adoption of a common agenda on how to solve the problem • It involves shared measurement across organizations, continuous communication, and mutually reinforcing activities
Isolated impact • Similar organizations collect quality data, but are isolated and not coordinated with others
Coordinated impact • Similar organizations collect quality independent data that align under similar outcomes for broad community impact
Collective impact • Similar organizations collect quality data for the same outcomes in a coordinated and collaborative network that reinforces other networks strategically implementing the community’s shared agenda
