“Facets of Change” Learning Series

It’s no coincidence that Change is a core part of the name of our practice. Understanding how change works and how change can be influenced have been critical when working on complex strategic or organizational challenges for the past years.

We want to share this applied knowledge with you through a?series of hands-on workshops?early next year.

Format: 6 workshops x 3 hours, Zoom & Miro

Frequency: weekly, on Tuesdays at 4pm CET Paris

Duration: mid January to late February (18 Jan - 22 Feb 2022)

Optional: practical exercises to work on between workshops (max. 1h per week)

You’ll learn about?9 Facets of Change, with exercises and case studies for each.

At the end of the series, you’ll have a richer understanding of how change works and how different facets of change are interconnected. You’ll also have a richer toolbox of exercises and tools that you can use with your colleagues or clients.

Questions to Check Community Readiness

First pick this week comes from the Tamarack Institute and their paper on?Building Collective Impact Capacity.

Once community leaders confirm that Collective Impact is the right approach to advance your community change agenda, they must assess the?readiness of their own community to join?them in their collaborative effort.

“5 Questions to Assess the Fit of Collective Impact

1. Do we aim to effect a needle-change (i.e. 10% or more) on a community wide metric?
2. Do we believe a long-term (3-5 + year) investment is needed by diverse stakeholders to achieve success?
3. Do we believe cross-sector engagement is essential for community-wide change?
4. Are we committed to using measurable data to set the agenda and improve over time?
5. Are we committed to having community members as leaders, partners & producers of impact?
