  12. COMMON AGENDA All participants have a shared vision for change including a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions.

  13. SHARED MEASUREMENT Collecting data and measuring results consistently across all participants ensures efforts remain aligned and participants hold each other accountable.

  14. MUTUALLY REINFORCING ACTIVITIES Participant activities must be differentiated while still being coordinated through a mutually reinforcing plan of action.

  15. CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION Consistent and open communication is needed across the many players to build trust, assure mutual objectives, and appreciate common motivation.

  16. BACKBONE ORGANIZATION Creating and managing collective impact requires a separate organization(s) with staff and a specific set of skills to serve as the backbone for the entire initiative and coordinate participating organizations and agencies.

  17. THREE SECTORS • Public Sector - Public service delivery • City, County, State, Federal • Military, police, public transportation, roads, public education, healthcare, etc. • Private Sector – For profit & … • Link between competitive advantage and corporate social responsibility • Mutually dependent = economic and societal progress • Non-Profit Sector – Social activities • Social services, education, environment, and other unmet needs throughout society. • Has become central to the health and wellbeing of society.

  18. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968
