Toolkit: Making Collective Progress

Who’s it for?

This is for anyone seeking to apply collective approaches and principles in practice, such as:

Organisations, individuals and groups working towards shared or interdependent goals in their sector, community or area. This could be in relation to a particular system or outcome (e.g. education, mental health) or with specific audiences (e.g. young people, families). You may be wanting to make more of your shared roles, resources and activities as you focus on deeper, longer-term or systemic change.

Infrastructure, network or anchor organisations that are seeking to build more collective potential among those you work with and on behalf of, such as network members or partners. You might be seeking to open up new practices, secure funding for collective efforts, or create conditions for your network or members to thrive.

Funders, commissioners or others bringing resources to particular communities, areas, outcomes or systems. You may be hoping to make the most of your combined investment by working towards collective missions or fostering and supporting collective ways of working among those you invest in.

The approaches and principles have been collected by the social innovation organisation Shift.
