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.
What's New
Collective Impact is working with
Franklin County Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) to assist in the development of a five-year strategic plan for the organization. The strategic plan will build upon emerging opportunities identified throughout the strategic planning process and will help the organization effect culture change and philosophically and structurally grow into a more holistic, family-focused support organization. Through the planning process, CSEA will examine and identify priority strategies in the areas of Governance and Leadership; Human Resources and Culture; Programs, Services, and Facilities; Internal Communication and Information Systems; Marketing, Banding, and Relationships; and Legal and Financial. The process will culminate with the development of a strategic plan that will recap the activities and results of the planning process and will serve to help guide the organization’s future direction. Ultimately, it will provide a “road map” or guide for the organization to intentionally move forward into the future.
Success
Collective Impact worked with West Virginia University (WVU) Center for Excellence in Disabilities (CED) to facilitate a strategic planning process for the organization in preparation for the 5-year competitive renewal. The four-month process included assessment, planning, and facilitation services and culminated with the development of a plan that summarized priority areas and identified key partners and activities from the planning process to help guide the organization’s future direction. Ultimately, the information gathered through the process was used to provide a “road map” or guide for the organization to intentionally move forward into the future and be better prepared for the competitive renewal. The mission of WVU CED is to improve the lives of West Virginians with disabilities by supporting more diverse, inclusive communities.
