Collective Impact

  • We work collaboratively with community stakeholders, including organizations, policymakers, and residents, to build consensus around common goals and outcomes.
  • We promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement, regularly assessing and adapting our strategies to ensure that we are making progress towards our shared goals.
  • Our team uses a strengths-based approach, emphasizing the unique assets and perspectives that each partner brings to the table, and leveraging those strengths to create mutually beneficial partnerships and outcomes.
  • We prioritize building trust and transparency among partners, fostering open communication and a shared understanding of our collective vision for positive change.

Appreciative Inquiry​

  • We encourage organizations to focus on their strengths and positive experiences rather than solely on their challenges and problems.
  • Our team utilizes inquiry-based methods to engage stakeholders and gather diverse perspectives, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the organization and its community.
  • We help organizations create a shared vision for the future that inspires and motivates all stakeholders to work towards a common goal.

Asset Based Community Development​

  • We engage in collaborative and strengths-based approaches to community development that focus on identifying and mobilizing the assets and resources that exist within a community.
  • We work with communities to build capacity and leadership by identifying and supporting local champions and leaders who can drive change and promote sustainable solutions.
  • We prioritize the involvement of community members and stakeholders in decision-making processes, creating opportunities for active participation and engagement.
  • We utilize a variety of tools and methods to assess community assets and needs, including community mapping, focus groups, and surveys, in order to design tailored interventions and programs that build on existing strengths and resources.

Balanced Scorecard​

  • We use the Balanced Scorecard framework to provide a comprehensive perspective on organizational performance, aligning day-to-day activities with strategic objectives across four key areas: Learning and Growth, Internal Processes, Customer, and Financial.
  • We emphasize the importance of defining clear organizational goals and identifying critical areas that drive success.
  • Our team collaborates with stakeholders to develop meaningful performance indicators (KPIs) that measure progress and impact.
  • We gather reliable data to establish benchmarks, creating actionable insights for strategic decision-making.
  • We work closely with organizations to implement the framework effectively, facilitating alignment, accountability, and progress toward shared goals.
  • We support the ongoing refinement of KPIs and targets, ensuring the framework evolves alongside organizational needs and priorities.
