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

(See All)

Collective Impact worked with one of its long-term partners (Indiana County Department of Human Services and Green County Human Services Find Out) to revamp and modernize their interactive websites which provides an interactive directory of resources for the communities. Both organizations have been long-standing clients of Collective Impact, utilizing many of our capacity building services and for over 15 years, have had use of Collective Impact’s user-friendly Venue Website services. Venue is an innovative content management system that helps organizations and communities operate more efficiently and effectively, strengthen operational infrastructure, and develop social capital. It is user-friendly with development driven by its users; giving users the ability to update their website content without technical knowledge or expertise.

Collective Impact assessed the team-building needs of West Virginia Autism Training Center (WVATC) and developed and delivered related training and workshop services to increase the knowledge, skills and capacity of its staff to work more effectively as a team. Team-building services focused on team vision, mission and core values; stages and characteristics of team development; individual and team work styles and strengths analysis; effective listening and resource coordination; and collaborative team work and capacity building. The mission of the WV Autism Training Center is to provide support to individuals with autism spectrum disorders as they pursue a life of quality. The WV Autism Training Center was established in 1984 by the WV Legislature and housed at Marshall University, in Huntington, WV. Services are available for families of West Virginians with autism spectrum disorders as well as their educators and others significant in their lives.

"The City of Shinnston was awarded a Flex-E Grant to increase our community capacity through leadership training. We once again called upon Bruce Decker and Collective Impact to facilitate sessions on visioning, team building, motivation, cultural competence, and leadership. The exercises designed for these sessions were challenging, thought-provoking, and highly effective. I have also personally been through other training sessions led by Bruce at conferences put on by Create West Virginia and the WV Community Development Hub. I've never been disappointed; Bruce always delivers results." ~ Debra Herndon - City Manager, City of Shinnston, WV
