Over the past few months, the Collective Impact Forum’s Robert Albright and FSG’s David Phillips and Hollie Marston interviewed experienced collective impact backbone leaders from initiatives across the U.S. The goal of these interviews was to address questions commonly asked by collective impact practitioners, such as “Where have you seen progress?”, “How have you sustained your initiative?”, and “What advice do you have for new initiatives?”
The result is a series of 7 conversations full of real stories of success, failure, and nuanced advice for others supporting collective impact initiatives. You can see a summary of the lessons learned and read the full interviews on the Collective Impact Forum.
