Collective impact is an innovative and structured approach to systems change. The process brings together a wide variety of stakeholders who use data to identify root causes of a problem.
Once the problem's complexity is understood, the group implements solutions and monitors outcomes by using shared measures. This approach consists of five characteristics which include:
- a common agenda
- shared measures
- mutually reinforcing activities
- continuous communication
- a backbone organization
