Collective impact is providing a training workshop for the The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation (TGKVF) “Building Bridges for Good Measure” conference. The topic for this training workshop is “Building Bridges for Organizational Sustainability and Community Impact.” The workshop will engage participants in interactive learning experiences to increase understanding, capacity, and action around regional/local collaboration. Participants will better understand the importance of collaboration in general and specifically leveraging new partnerships to reach common desired outcomes and gain support from funders. The session will address the “nuts and bolts” of collaboration and community-level work, the importance of working together in a rapidly changing environment, the “collective impact” approach, and engaging in collaborative team work for greater impact and results. It’s just like MAGIC (Making A Great Impact Collectively)!

For over a 15 month period, Collective Impact worked with West Virginia University School of Public Health, West Virginia Health Improvement Institute, and West Virginia Health Innovation Collaborative   providing planning, facilitation, research, and stakeholder engagement and input services for the State Innovation Models (SIM) project. SIM is based on the premise that state-led innovation, supported by broad stakeholder input and engagement, will accelerate health care delivery system transformation to provide better health and better care at a lower cost. SIM encourages public and private sector collaboration to design and test multi-payer models to transform the health care systems in the state. The goal of the SIM project is to support states in using all of the levers available at the state level to engage stakeholders – including payers, providers, and the public – to design a plan that can deliver significantly better care, smarter spending, and healthier people through statewide transformation of the health care delivery system, payment methodologies, and integration of population health interventions.

“Mid-way through our organizational 5 year strategic plan, we felt we needed to ask the tough questions to ensure we were on the right track to accomplish our goals.  We turned to Collective Impact.  Bruce researched our organization, presented it to us in a way we had not considered, and we have a much better perspective on our direction as a result.  We are on track; thanks to Collective Impact.”  ~ Jeffrey Fondelier, Vice President of Operations, Community Action Southwest, Washington, PA
