Collective Impact: Workshop 1 for Teams of 4-5

8:30am - 4:00pm Eastern Time
Sustainability Network, 215 Spadina, Toronto, ON
Cost: $300 per team of 4-5

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 Sustainability Network 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 3:30pm Eastern Time.

Using Cooperatives and Social Enterprises to Create Resilient Rural Communities

Cooperative and social enterprises are responding to issues rural Canadian communities face, such as declining populations and the loss of services associated with it. Three events examine how cooperatives and other social enterprises are being used to help create resilient small towns and rural communities. 
 
Case studies and examples will be explored; participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and concerns from their own rural community. Discussions will include how they assess cooperatives and social enterprises, and will address related concerns and resources needed to start up and sustain co-operatives.
