Navigating the Dangers to Collective Impact
Nov 10, 2026 • 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Collaboration • Virtual Event
Collective impact initiatives—no matter what issue area they focus on—can run into a series of common challenges that can stymie progress on achieving results, discourage teams, and inadvertently create a culture where partners would prefer to go solo rather than keep trying to overcome the hurdles of working together.
How can a collaborative navigate these many “dangers,” and sustain their work over the long-term?
In Navigating the Dangers to Collective Impact, this workshop will review 10 challenges that often hinder a collective and share some practices and principles to navigate through them and help set (or reset) your initiative on a path forward. From steering away from strategy drift to setting up a culture that encourages accountability, this session will provide candid, practical advice on many of the real-world challenges that pop up (or explode) when doing complex, long-term collaborative work. This session will also share best practices that prevent these dangers from happening in your initiatives.
