Planning and Change Management

Collective Impact provides planning and change management services to assist organizations and communities to envision the future and develop the necessary actions to realize it. We help clients create a "roadmap" to guide their efforts toward preferred results.

Collective Impact facilitates planning and change management processes for organizations and communities. We combine elements of traditional strategic planning, use a logic model - theory of change approach, and provide tools that assist clients through each step of their change process. Collective Impact guides clients through all phases of planning and change management, including issues analysis, vision and mission development, action planning, and benchmarking and monitoring change efforts. We can also help clients communicate, brand, and evaluate their efforts.

Our approach is mission-driven, meaning that we help clients focus on why they exist and ways to better implement their efforts to realize their mission. Collective Impact understands that clients are at different stages of organizational or community development. We customize our approach to address each client's unique needs and situation.

Collective Impact has experience providing planning and change management services for many entities, including non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, entrepreneures, multi-disciplinary groups, collaboratives, and systems of care. We are skilled at helping to achieve consensus among diverse groups of people.

Collective Impact has specific experience assisting clients in developing outcomes frameworks for benchmarking, identifying trends, and monitoring success. These frameworks help clients to demonstrate returns on investments and value-added benefits to funders, customers, policy makers, or the general public.

Collective Impact also works with communities to integrate their children and family service systems. We help communities identify where they are on the integration continuum and develop the necessary steps to move forward. Connect The Dots is a "creative communities" development strategy that helps strengthen community capacity and enrich social capital.

Planning and change management services from Collective Impact can help clients to be proactive rather than reactive, to create change and improvement rather than react to change. This will better position organizations and communities for greater success.

Collective Impact has been working with the Northern West Virginia Center for Independent Living to help the organization develop a strategic plan for the future as well as engage in succession planning for the planned departure of its founding Executive Director who has lead the organization for nearly 30 years.

During this engaging and productive process, Collective Impact is becoming more educated about the variety of needs of people with disabilities as well as the numerous services, resources, and supports available to the disabilities community. Did you know that in the United Stated, 12.6% of adults have some type of disability? Did you know that in West Virginia, the number is even higher, with 19.4% of adults having some type of disability? And in West Virginia, adults with disabilities are more likely to smoke (21.9%) and be obese (43.3%).

The challenges facing people with disabilities is overwhelming, but many of these challenges are being met daily by organizations like NWVCIL. A BIG shout out to the good folks at NWVCIL for your passion, tenacity, and strong work on improving the lives and communities of people with disabilities in the mountain state!

Collective Impact worked with Appalachia Funders Network – Health Working Group over one-year period to help the group focus its efforts in a more strategic approach. The Appalachian Funders Network is a group of over 80 national, regional and local grantmakers who work together to accelerate the development of more diverse and resilient local economics that sustain the regions unique assets and provide widely shared prosperity for all. The focus is in Central Appalachia, the region defined as the Appalachian communities of Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Collective Impact worked with the Health Working Group to facilitate regional meetings focused on strategy development around co-investment and collaboration among funding partners. The Health Working Group convenes nearly 40 funders to learn about and assess their collective health funding priorities and barriers to the implementation and sustainability of health improvement strategies.

"Working on the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) project, Bruce and the team at Collective Impact outperformed any hope we had of facilitation, coordination, surveying, reporting, etc. Without the cohesive element they provided, we would not have been successful in our Planning Phase. Bruce Decker went above and beyond what he received in his contract to make sure this project succeeded. That's a quality you can't put on a resume. The residents of our city may never know how much work went into BCJI, but those of us who do certainly owe Bruce and Collective Impact a debt of gratitude." ~ Rodney Pell, Administrative Officer, Huntington Police Department (Retired), Huntington, WV
