Collective Impact enables a group of organizations to address a major challenge by developing and working toward a common agenda that fundamentally changes population level outcomes in a community.  When successful, communities solve big complex challenges (e.g. poverty, unemployment of disadvantaged populations) or make substantial societal shifts (e.g. more sustainable food systems) by creating a shared multi sector understanding of the problem, a common vision and an action plan with shared measurements and reinforcing activities.

Innoweave is pleased to partner with the Victoria Foundation to offer a Collective Impact Workshop 1

The workshop is designed to help leadership teams from 4-5 different organizations:

• Begin to clarify the populations level outcomes that they wish to generate
• Explore the community system in which your organization operates and the change you want to see
• Lay the groundwork for Collective Impact by building toward the three pre-conditions and five conditions of Collective Impact
• Start to build a common agenda that is driven by data and urgency around the issue being tackled
• Build a community engagement strategy that ensures that influential leaders, and people with lived experience are part of community change process
• Develop a short term plan that builds engagement, community will and an urgency to move forward

The Innoweave Collective Impact Workshop 1 builds on the Innoweave Introduction to Collective Impact webinar, taking place on March 19th at 12:30pm Pacific Time.
