The Collective Impact Core practices Collective Impact by moving through 5 phases:

  1. Setting the common agenda
  2. Identifying priorities
  3. Planning a project
  4. Taking action
  5. Setting a project down

We repeat phases 3-5 frequently as we plan, implement, and complete projects. We repeat phases 2-5 sometimes, when we’ve made a lot of progress or we want to be sure we’re on the right track. We repeat phases 1-5 very infrequently, when a deep and significant change has happened in our community.
