About Us

Who We Are

Since 2001, Collective Impact has provided capacity building services to help organizations and communities achieve their mission, realize their vision, and thrive!

Our network of capacity-builders was formed to provide clients with comprehensive services, tools, and resources that strengthen their ability to get things done ... and done well. We define capacity building as “strategies or solutions that empower organizations and communities to operate more effectively and efficiently.”

Collective Impact uses a strengths-based systems approach to building capacity. Organizations and communities often focus on their problems or needs, but we believe that those we serve have great strengths to build upon and see our role as helping identify and maximize those strengths by using a holistic approach that emphasizes resources and capabilities. This approach is reflected throughout our core values.

Collective Impact is not only the name of our consulting firm, but it is also our overall philosophy and approach that we use with all of our clients in every project with which we are involved. It is our guiding principle that directs how we collectively, with our clients ... interact, perform, and succeed.

Our Vision

Collective Impact's vision is "for organizations and communities to be successful and thrive." Our vision is the ultimate state that we are working towards. We exist to help realize our vision.

Our Mission

Collective Impact's mission is "to build capacity with organizations and communities to help them achieve their mission, realize their vision, and thrive!" Our mission directs our efforts in working with clients and serves as a guide for achieving our vision.

What's New

(See All)

Collective Impact is working with Franklin County Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) to assist in the development of a five-year strategic plan for the organization. The strategic plan will build upon emerging opportunities identified throughout the strategic planning process and will help the organization effect culture change and philosophically and structurally grow into a more holistic, family-focused support organization. Through the planning process, CSEA will examine and identify priority strategies in the areas of Governance and Leadership; Human Resources and Culture; Programs, Services, and Facilities; Internal Communication and Information Systems; Marketing, Banding, and Relationships; and Legal and Financial. The process will culminate with the development of a strategic plan that will recap the activities and results of the planning process and will serve to help guide the organization’s future direction. Ultimately, it will provide a “road map” or guide for the organization to intentionally move forward into the future.

Success

Collective Impact used our signature Community Design Innovations model to work with the Lincoln County Early Childhood Collaborative to develop a comprehensive community-based strategic plan. The strategies identified in the plan aim to build the collaborative's capacity and strengthen the community infrastructure that supports the various early childhood resources and services available to families. Early Childhood Collaborative teams are a group of people at the local level who work together to insure smooth transitions for young children, their families and the agencies serving them. While the membership varies from one community to another, typical Early Childhood Collaborative team members include representatives of families, WV Birth to Three, Early Head Start/Head Start, Public School System, Child Care and other community partners such as Family Resource Networks (FRNs), Starting Points, Health Department, Right From the Start, Educare, etc. Every county in West Virginia has an Early Childhood Collaborative.

“I’ve worked with three communities that have had strategic plans done by Collective Impact. In all three the planning process and subsequent document provided structure for locals to move forward, often with significant projects. It is no wonder that they have repeat business and a good reputation with these folks.” ~ Herk Conner – Executive Director, Doddridge County Economic Development Authority, West Union, WV
