What is collective impact?

• Shared Purpose - All participants have a shared vision for change including a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions.
  

• Shared Measures of Impact - Collecting data and measuring results consistently across all participants ensures efforts remain aligned and participants hold each other accountable.
  

• Mutually Reinforcing Activities - Participant activities must be differentiated while still being coordinated through a mutually reinforcing plan of action.
  

• Continuous Communications - Consistent and open communication is needed across the many players to build trust, assure mutual objectives, and create common motivation.
  

• Project Coordination - Coordinate mutually reinforcing activities with participating organizations.
