Collective Impact Model
Gladstone Region engaging in action Together (GRT) is a Stronger People, Stronger Places initiative based on a Collective Impact Model.
Collective Impact is a collaborative approach to addressing complex social issues, and includes these 5 Key Elements:
Open communication
to foster genuine collaboration through building trust and relationships
A shared agenda
to collectively define the problem and create a clear direction to solve it
A shared action plan
for mutually reinforced activities that maximise the end result
A shared measurement framework
to track progress in the same way, which allows for continuous improvement
A backbone team
with the skills and resources to keep everyone on track
Collective Impact brings people together, in a structured way, to achieve social change.
Collective Impact is a model created by John Kania and Mark Kramer of FSG Consulting in 2011.
