Written on behalf of nFocus Solutions, the Guide is designed to assist local officials, schools' district leaders, nonprofit directors and foundation leaders who are considering joining the growing number of "collective impact" based collaborative initiatives. Drawn from interviews with leaders from Omaha's Building Bright Futures initiative and Boston's citywide youth collaborative, composed of the Boston Centers for Youth and Families, Boston After School and Beyond and Boston About Results, the Guide applies experiences and lessons learned while detailing the advantages to investing in a shared system, how to select a technology provider, effective training practices and how to sustain a long-term data effort.
"The path to success for the many multi-agency collaborations forming nationwide can be difficult to find, but with the tools and lessons learned from Omaha and Boston, our Guide can simplify the process," said Ananda Roberts, President of nFocus Solutions. "Collective Ideas to Collective Impact" is the first to break down collective impact into practical, key components that can help transform a collaboration's vision into real, enduring positive change in the communities they serve."
