Mobilizing for Transformation in Disruptive Times
Since Collective Impact, debuted in 2011, knowledge about how to effectively utilize the 5 conditions of Collective Impact (CI) that John Kania & Mark Kramer of FSG: Social Impact Consultants outlined has expanded considerably. The 2016 paper, Collective Impact 3.0 which was co-authored by Tamarack Institute’s Liz Weaver with Mark Cabaj Tamarack Associate and Founder of Here to There Consulting, drew upon their own experience applying Collective Impact to provide fresh thinking on its application. Two important insights they shared were, the importance of anchoring a CI Initiative in a widely held, community aspiration; and, to use the lens of a movement-building paradigm in its implementation. Today's Collective Impact practitioners have the benefit of drawing upon a decade of wisdom to inform the creation of a robust Collective Impact initiative that engages diverse stakeholders in a coordinated effort to achieve transformational change.
This virtual workshop explores lessons and strategies that will help you to design your Collective Impact initiative for maximum impact. Learn about:- Key elements of the Collective Impact Framework and its benefit during disruptive times
- How Collective Impact 3.0 and other insights from a global network of practitioners have contributed to the practice of Collective Impact over the past decade
- Five strengths of Collective Impact for designing in uncertain times
Participants in this highly interactive workshop will be given tools, frameworks, and examples for how to build commitment and co-create a compelling, shared strategy for change that unites diverse partners in navigating uncertain times. Tamarack values small-group interaction and workshop environments. We are intentionally limiting each virtual workshop to 70 participants to ensure that all participants maximize their learning and connection.
