WHO WE ARE
Collaborative Impact is a collective of passionate and like-minded professionals with decades of hands-on experience in assessing complex social change processes, designing institutional strategies and MEL frameworks, and strengthening organisations and partnerships for impact.
We help develop evidence-based change pathways through a dynamic engagement of our clients and their partners and stakeholders, enabling them to collectively envision alternative futures and devise transformative solutions that work for people and the planet. Levering our deep understanding of social and political-economy drivers of change and broad methodological expertise, our blended approach fosters genuine collaboration, producing robust outcomes that stand the tests of time.
Collaboration is at our core. We believe more can be achieved by working together than in silos, and by transcending existing knowledge disciplines and boundaries.
We gather top-tier teams with experts and facilitators from various fields and parts in the world, dedicated to providing collective services that help our clients to see through their change processes from start to end. We also provide individual services focused on achieving specific outcomes or bridging critical gaps.
Gender and social inclusion are central to our ethos. We are committed to upholding voice, rights, ethics and safety in all we do. Our Code of Conduct serves as a compass.
Our Mission
Making the world more sustainable and fairer by taking a systemic, empowering and rigorously innovative approach to strategy, learning and evaluation.
Our Values
Our core values inform everything we do or decide — from our relationships with partners and clients to the methodologies we use, and the way we deliver our services.
Quality. We prioritise delivery of ‘good’ over ‘fast’ and ‘cheap’, but create optimal shared value with available resources by balancing standards of rigour, inclusiveness, and feasibility.
Collaboration. We sit on the same side (not opposite) of the table with our clients and colleagues to design the methods and processes together. Every assignment is a partnership in which we share responsibility and consider our partners’ success as our own.
Empowerment. We consistently seek to enable equal voice and participation to support transformative change for those affected by our work or the work we help to design, strengthen and evaluate.
Trust. More than a service provider, we are a reliable, respectful, empathetic, caring and responsive partner. We speak with one voice and are consistent in everything we say/do in private and in public.
Openness. We remain open to multiple ideas, realities and ways of knowing, and creatively co-design and combine methods and processes to build credible and VUCA-sensitive knowledge and solutions.
