Webinar Description
As government and philanthropic investors continue re-thinking the way they engage with and fund social change, leaders within communities and nonprofits will find themselves being called on to work with these stakeholders in an entirely new way. More and more, the missions of organisations will be enacted through collaborations involving representatives from different sectors. If collaborations are uncharted territory, an easy mistake for everyone to make is assuming they already have the ability to manage whatever challenges may arise. In reality it takes a particular set of skills to engage with people of significantly different mindsets, power levels and agendas.
Delivered by Liz Skelton, Director The Adaptive Practice this webinar will cover:
- The dynamics of collaboration: Leveraging competition, commitment and control
- Understanding and working with power and authority in collaboration
- Engaging the ‘No’
About the Collective Impact Forum
The Collective Impact Forum, an initiative of FSG and the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions, is a resource for people and organizations using the collective impact approach to address large-scale social and environmental problems. We aim to increase the effectiveness and adoption of collective impact by providing practitioners with access to the tools, training opportunities, and peer networks they need to be successful in their work. The Collective Impact Forum includes communities of practice, in-person convenings, and an online community and resource center. Learn more and join the community at collectiveimpactforum.org
