Success is the right tool meeting the right problem. Here's an overview of the principles of one of those tools, Collective Impact, and how it can be applied towards systems change. Read more about the definition of Collective Impact: http://bit.ly/1qL9Yku.
4. Collective Impact Core Elements
Cross-sector table(s)
Shared result
Commitment to change behavior to achieve shared result
Feedback loops that signal progress toward shared result
5. What Should The Cross-Sector Table Do?
BUILD
MEASURE
LEARN
Hypotheses, Bets, Tests, Proofs of Concept,
Hunches, Promising Practices
Progress using feedback loops
What’s working, what’s not, and most
importantly WHY

Feedback Loops
Feedback CultureData Infrastructure
8. • Reinforces shared identity
• Builds muscle for change
• Develops connective tissue
• Ensures long term sustainability
Importance Of Feedback Culture
A table that is engaged is more powerful
than a table that just exists
9. Elements of the Feedback Loop
Key Drivers
3-6 Year
Outcomes
Shared
Result
6-10 Year
Outcomes
The Driver/s data is
available most
frequently.
They give you
info/feedback fast
enough to course
correct.
The Shared Result
shows whether you are
achieving needle-
moving Enduring
Change. It may move
the slowest but it is hard
to deny the scale of
impact when it moves.
The outcomes allows you to
gauge how you are performing
in relation to the Shared Result.
The data you collect should be
specific to the strategy you believe
will have the biggest impact on the
shared result. The information will
be at a slower frequency than the key
drivers, but will still allow you to
course correct.
The process decision makers use to evaluate progress toward their Shared Result with
data and learn what’s working, what’s not working, and most importantly: why
11. Prioritized StrategyArea: Employment in high growth industry
Aligning strategies and data with shared result allows cross-sector
table to achieve enduring change by pivoting away from what’s
working and swarming toward what is.

12. Data Infrastructure: The Final Frontier
• Allows systems to “talk” seamlessly
• Includes local and national data from
various sources
• May require additional resources if
software solutions are required
• Often results in a change to “business
as usual”
Investing in data infrastructure helps operationalize
enduring change
13. • A group working towards the same outcome,
• Looking at the same data,
• To continuously improve practices over time
• Individual practitioners working on specific issues
• Collecting qualitative and quantitative data
• To demonstrate impact with individual students
• A group working on the same issue,
• Sharing information about what they do
• To better coordinate efforts

15. Tools
• Mapping
• Leverage Points
• Technical Assistance
• Evaluators
• Facilitators
• Books
o Tribal Leadership
o Switch
o Moving Beyond Icebreakers
Using Data And Tools To Improve, Not Prove
17. Always asking
and
understanding
WHY
• Resources
• Policies
• Processes
• Practices, etc.
Thoughtfully Replace What Doesn’t Work With What Does
Over Time At All Levels Of Impact
Away from
what doesn’t
work
Towards what
does

PRESENTATION PURPOSE STATEMENT
Explain that this is just a preview- the rest of the presentation may not address each principle directly but each of the slides is about something that ENABLES and SUPPORTS effective use of the prinicples
Ty to first principle of collective impact:
Imagine the green circles represent strategy
EXAMPLE: Detroit’s goal was to decrease the average number of days a child is in foster care. When doing mapping, they discovered that the Dept. of Corrections system and Dept. of Family Services system didn’t talk to each other which was causing a huge delay because when parents were getting released from jail/prison, the Dept. of family services didn’t know and children would be stuck in the system waiting. Correcting the INFRASTRUCTURE issue…i.e. getting the systems to talk….enabled a more effective feedback loop for a city that was trying to develop a feedback culture.
