10.19.16 Making Sense of Collective Impact
In a world of limited resources and abundant need, community organizations hope to have the greatest possible returns on their investment of time, talent and treasure. Ensuring large, sustainable impact requires an understanding of the "Big Picture.” Through interactive games and modeling exercises, this session aims to help make clear the paradigm shift necessary to achieve systems- level change.
This session will introduce the basics of systems thinking in order to help practitioners with identifying root causes of complex problems, high-leverage interventions, and unintended consequences of programs and policy.
At the end of the session, participants will have:
- a working concept of systems dynamics (feedback loops, mental models, archetypes,
etc.),
- knowledge of how to identify systems of behavior and its root cause,
- exercises and activities to encourage this sort of thinking with their teams
RSVP for this informative session.
