5 Conditions for Collective Impact Success

1. Common Agenda shared vision for change & common understanding of problem

2. Shared Measurement Systems Agreement on ways IMPACT will be measured and reported.

3. Mutually Reinforcing Activitiescoordination of differentiated activities through a mutually reinforcing plan of action.

4. Continuous CommunicationCommunication between meetings using web-based tools.

5. Backbone Support OrganizationsCollaboration needs a supporting infrastructure

Natural Models: Life Principles

Evolve to Survive Be Resource (Material and Energy) Efficient

Adapt to Changing Conditions

Integrate Development with Growth

Be Locally Attuned and Responsive

Use Life-friendly Chemistry

Continually incorporate and embody information to ensure enduring performance.

Skillfully & conservatively take advantage of local resources & opportunities.

Appropriately respond to dynamic contexts.

Invest optimally in strategies that promote both development and growth.

Fit into and integrate with the surrounding environment.

Use chemistry that supports life processes.

Replicate Strategies that WorkRepeat successful approaches.

Integrate the UnexpectedIncorporate mistakes in ways that can lead to new forms and functions.

Reshuffle InformationExchange and alter information to create new options.

Use Multi-functional DesignMeet multiple needs with one elegant solution.

Use Low Energy ProcessesMinimize energy consumption by reducing requisite temperatures, pressures, and/or time for reactions.

Recycle All MaterialsKeep all materials in a closed loop.

Fit Form to FunctionSelect for shape or pattern based on need.

Maintain Integrity through Self-renewalPersist by constantly adding energy and matter to heal and improve the system.

Embody Resilience through Variation, Redundancy, and DecentralizationMaintain function following disturbance by incorporating a variety of duplicate forms, processes, or systems that are not located exclusively together.

Incorporate DiversityInclude multiple forms, processes, or systems to meet a functional need.

Combine Modular and Nested ComponentsFit multiple units within each other progressively from simple to complex.

Build from the Bottom UpAssemble components one unit at a time.

Self-organizeCreate conditions to allow components to interact in concert to move towards an enriched system.

Use Readily Available Materials and EnergyBuild with abundant, accessible materials while harnessing freely available energy.

Cultivate Cooperative RelationshipsFind value through win-win interactions.

Leverage Cyclic ProcessesTake advantage of phenomena that repeat themselves.

Use Feedback LoopsEngage in cyclic information flows to modify a reaction appropriately.

Build Selectively with a Small Subset of ElementsAssemble relatively few elements in elegant ways.

Break Down Products into Benign ConstituentsUse chemistry in which decomposition results in no harmful by-products.

Do Chemistry in WaterUse water as solvent.
