A very short introduction to Collective Impact

Collective impact is the commitment of a group of important actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a specific social problem… Unlike most collaborations, collective impact initiatives involve a centralised infrastructure, a dedicated staff, and a structured process that leads to a common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication, and mutually reinforcing activities among all participants.(Source: Stanford Social Innovation Review article.)

Collective Impact feels really useful to explore, so we’ve added a Collective Impact page to the Great Resources area of this site. We’ve included the video below, which provides a nice introduction in under 2 minutes. Let us know what you think.
