Collective Impact and Collaboration (Part Two)

Thursday, 20th February 2014

2 - 3pm (Australian Eastern Standard Daylight Savings Time)

About the session

It is well understood that a key challenge for anybody tackling complex social challenges in Australia today is that to achieve results systems change is needed. Collective Impact is a cross-sectoral framework to guide complex, systemic social change in communities. To do this work requires many skills including collaboration.

Both systems change and deep collaboration move beyond shared agreements to become a process of shared creation. This means creating understandings between groups of people that didn’t exist previously and couldn’t be arrived at individually. These two webinars will explore both the systems change framework of Collective Impact and the skill set of collaboration that is necessary to do this work.
