Using Collective Impact Principles to Drive Systemic Change
Keywords:
collective impact, community engagement, stakeholder engagementAbstract
Montgomery Moving Forward (MMF) was established in 2012 to address multifaceted community challenges in Montgomery County, Maryland, and increase opportunities for cross-sector community stakeholders to exchange ideas and collaborate. MMF’s collective impact efforts rely heavily on a Leadership Group (LG) drawn from the public and private sectors in the county to move its initiatives forward. The LG also engages with local policymakers to help create institutional change in more formal ways, as shown in its Calls to Action for workforce development and early childhood education. The LG created a logic model to build a shared understanding of its work and goals and as a tool for communicating with community stakeholders. MMF’s Accountability Workgroup developed performance measures aligned with the logic model and tenets of collective impact. In 2022 the workgroup surveyed MMF leaders and community partners to understand better the strengths and gaps of its collective impact activities.
