A bit about backbones…
• Key is having someone whose role is to convene & coordinate
• Includes:o Guiding vision & strategyo Supporting aligned activitieso Establishing measurementso Building public supporto Advancing policyo Mobilising funding
o Seems to work better if the backbone organisation has some independence and doesn’t compete for funding

Collaboration compared to Collective Impact
• SCollaboration is “working
with others to do a task and to achieve shared goals”
Collective Impact is a
structured form of collaboration

3. Why Collective Impact matters “In my own life experience, I was a disconnected
youth who struggled with addiction and depression through my teens and lived on the
streets after high school. Fortunately, I received a lot of help that helped me get back on track. In-patient treatment, out-patient treatment, therapy, mutual support group, mentors, and friends could all claim me as an outcome. But while each of these played a necessary role in
my recovery, none were by themselves sufficient. And anyone measuring my success
after three years would have reached a different conclusion than measuring me after five. It was a mix of service and supports and most of all a supportive community over several years that
helped me.”
Paul Schmitz, Author and Collective Impact Advisor

Why Collective Impact matters
Change should be driven at both the kitchen table and
the legislative chamber...

Why Collective Impact matters
“Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora
ai te iwi”(With your food basket and my food basket the
people will thrive.)

4. The challenges of Collective Impact
• Collective Impact is a very promising approach, but:o Requires trust, cooperation and
breaking down siloeso Need to manage the
“collaboration trolls” of control, competition and commitment
o Doesn’t happen quickly o Can be hard to fundo Must involve our communities
(“do with”, not “do to”)o Disrupts power hierarchies
![Page 18: Collective impact presentation by kate frykberg](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a7e8e01a28abd7248b589b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Traditional Funding hierarchy

Organisations decide services for:
People and Communities

4. The community-led hierarchy
People and communities help themselves and each other
Community Organisations
give specialist support if required
Fundersgive $ if reqd

Possible Roadmaps for starting CI
1. What issues are your communities grappling with?
2. Community and cross-sector conversations and sharing
3. Agree vision and how you will measure progress
4. Create structure (leadership, backbone, funding)
5. Start with small projects
(See http://www.collaborationforimpact.com/the-how-to-guide/ for more info)

Final Thoughts
• We can’t change the world by ourselves – let’s do it together
• Collective Impact is one way of working together
• Include a Community-led approach
• It is a tool not a straight jacket – use and adapt!
