Webinars: Relationships
Collaboration, partnerships & working effectively with others
Collaboration, partnerships & working effectively with othersSociety is diverse and organisations need to consider how you respond to this diversity of cultures, ethnicities, religion and beliefs, age, socio-economic, disability, and gender. Responding to diversity is essential in building relationships with your community. Partnerships and collaborations are like all relationships, it is a two way communication process and they require nurturing. An organisation can use both formal and informal partners in a wide range of areas.

Is collective impact the right approach for you? (Part 1)
How do you know if collective impact is right for your organisation? While collective impact has a track record of success against a range of social and environmental issues, not all issues lend themselves to this approach, and it is important that there are the right conditions in place for a collective impact effort to succeed. In this webinar, you'll learn: the foundations of the collective impact approach, to identify the pre-conditions that enable collective impact efforts to succeed, how to determine whether collective impact is appropriate for your issue and local context..

In this webinar, you'll learn: how to identify champions and form a cross-sector group, how to map the landscape and use data to define the problem and make the case for change, how to include the voices of community members.

Collaborating to create a common agenda (Part 3)
With so many different stakeholders at the table, coming to consensus over the key issues and how to approach them can seem like a daunting task. In this webinar, you'll learn: how to get to a common understanding of the problem being addressed — what is in? what is out?, how to conduct research and identify potential indicators for progress, how to establish ownership and buy-in from key stakeholders and implementers.

How to integrate continuous learning into collective impact
While many leaders understand the importance of continuous learning, more could be done to help funders, backbone leaders, and other community partners integrate continuous learning into their collective impact initiatives. This webinar will explore how to develop learning priorities that are co-created and agreed upon, learning plans that determine the set of processes and activities required to create a continuous cycle of dialogue and reflection, and a learning culture that allows for openness, trust, and risk-taking.
Webinar attendees will explore how to facilitate learning conversations and will hear from a place-based funder about how they modeled learning processes with their collective impact partners.

The what, the why, and the how of building capacity for collective
impact
Building capacity for collective impact is critical for funders, backbone leaders, and others working together to address complex social problems in communities. Among the most important capacities are system leadership, data sharing and analysis, community engagement, and more. Drawing from the learnings from the Rider-Pool Foundation’s Collective Impact Fellowship—an intensive, place-based collective impact leadership development program—this webinar delves into the most critical capacities needed in collective impact. What capacities should you prioritize, why is capacity building important, and how should you most effectively support capacity building in collective impact?

Lessons from 500+ cross-sector partnerships
This webinar identifies the challenges most cross-sector partnerships face, and explores cross-sector case studies to help you improve your own work. Structuring and
managing a cross-sector partnership can be one of the hardest parts of collective impact. Using data collected from Living Cities' Cross-Sector Partnership Assessment, this webinar presented on the biggest trends in cross-sector partnerships and collective impact today. We discussed common challenges most cross-sector partnerships face, and explored a crosssector case study Seattle/King County.

Breaking the silos
The presenters explore the importance of disrupting what separates us in order to work together to understand and address the interconnections of the issues and challenges that are owned by all of us.

The art of disruption
The presenters discuss the emerging ideas and strategies that are disrupting how communities are responding to the complex issues they face. Communities are fluid and dynamic places. Increasingly, we recognize that the old ways of working are not achieving the impacts desired. We are seeing negative trends in many communities on issues like poverty, homelessness, obesity and teen suicide. How do we disrupt these patterns? What is the leadership needed to truly transform our communities and drive change forward?
