Collective Impact is intended to help community leaders effectively
engage participants in strategic planning initiatives and achieve
desired results. It is a logical extension of, and builds on,
earlier efforts that experienced difficulties helping groups
implement actions identified in the planning processes. This book
examines successful practices that apply Collective Impact
principles to a variety of community development issues including
reducing poverty, and similar topics. Contributing authors also
examine techniques used in working with local groups to facilitate
effective changes in their communities. The discussions focus on
settings in which Collective Impact efforts are likely to succeed
using a variety of case studies that vary by intent, purpose, and
location. Discussions of involvement by community and campus
partnerships, regional planning organizations, and other groups can
affect the ways in which Collective Impact principles are applied
and how well they work. The discussions conclude with
transformational changes within Collective Impact, moving from the
individual to the system and future directions for Collective
Impact approaches. Practitioners and scholars alike will find the
discussions of various approaches and outcomes using Collective
Impact useful in designing future efforts to bring about community
change. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the journal Community Development.

Collective Impact as a tool to bring about community change has
seen remarkable growth in usage since 2011. Collective Impact has
been used successfully with a variety of local issues and has
raised the consciousness of how community groups interact as well
as the approaches that can lead to long-term innovations. This
edited volume sets forth conceptual foundations for using
Collective Impact as well as sharing basic approaches that have
succeeded in projects under diverse circumstances. It will be
useful for both academics and practitioners as Collective Impact
continues to undergo substantial changes in focus and direction.
Building on Kania and Kramer's influential work, it provides
readers with detailed insights not only into how the Collective
Impact system works but also innovative applications to issues
facing community developers. The diverse topics shared by the
contributing authors make this volume especially important for
practitioners designing programs to bring about long-term changes
in their communities. Including discussion about how Collective
Impact has succeeded in different governmental settings, this book
demonstrates how Collective Impact has been modified to accommodate
the associated cultural differences with 10 chapters written by
experienced on-the-ground community development experts.
