RESILIENCE – An Adaptive Approach

slide-13
SLIDE 13

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

RESILIENCE DEFINED

  • Community resilience is a process linking a set of networked

adaptive capacities to a positive trajectory of functioning and adaptation after an initial disturbance.

  • The ability of a community to bounce back and utilize physical and

economic resources effectively.

slide-14

BUILDING RESILIENCE

Levels and Scales

  • Spatial scales – landscapes, regions, the globe
  • Temporal scales – daily, seasonal, annual, generational
  • Jurisdictional scales – localities, state, national, international
  • Institutional scales – operating rules, laws and regulations
  • Managerial scales – tasks, projects, strategies
  • Scales of human networks – family, kin, society, trans-society
  • Scales of knowledge – practice-based, local knowledge, generalized

science

slide-15
SLIDE 15

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

BUILDING ADAPTIVE CAPACITY

  • Anticipation – predictive and ability to calculate potential impact
  • Vulnerability – state of system susceptibility to harm
  • Trust – focus on building trust across networked systems
slide-16
SLIDE 16

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

BUILDING RESILIENCE

  • Diversity of partners – provide a range of perspectives and insights
  • Diversity of knowledge – useful in addressing complex system problems
  • Diversity of Institutions – useful for leveraging strengths
  • Mitigating vulnerabilities – examining a range of risks
  • Role of social capital – builds connections to assess and mitigate

vulnerabilities

  • Experimentation and learning – includes rapid prototyping and sense-

making

  • Governance and capacity building – interactions and agreements

between many actors

CORE ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

In order for sustainability to become a reality, coalitions need:

  • Buy-in and support from key decision-makers as well as community volunteers.
  • Sufficient leadership, funding, and channels of communications.
  • Procedures in place to monitor policy (e.g., city ordinances) results through

enforcement and compliance, and to modify strategies accordingly.

  • Create a long-term plan for ensuring the viability of the coalition or initiative.
  • Develop a diverse funding portfolio, collaborative leadership, and

marketing/branding strategies.

  • Ensure that all community stakeholders are ready to respond to a changing

environment.

10 STEPS TO SUSTAINABILITY

  • 1. Create a shared understanding of sustainability
  • 2. Create a plan to work through the process
  • 3. Position coalition efforts to increase the odds of

sustainability

  • 4. Look at the current picture and pending items
  • 5. Develop criteria to determine which efforts

continue

  • 6. Decide what to continue and prioritize
  • 7. Create options for maintaining priority efforts
  • 8. Develop a sustainability plan
  • 9. Implement the sustainability plan
  • 10. Evaluate outcomes and revise as needed

DEVELOPING SHARED UNDERSTANDING

  • Be clear about what sustainability means in the context
  • f coalition policy strategies and activities.
  • Agree (earlier rather than later) that planning for

sustainability is valuable.

  • Include multiple community stakeholders in the

sustainability planning process.

BARRIERS TO SUSTAINING COLLECTIVE IMPACT

slide-24
SLIDE 24

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

DIVING DEEPER: 8 FACTORS FOR COLLECTIVE IMPACT SUSTAINABILITY

slide-25
SLIDE 25

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 1: Leadership Competence

  • Activities that contribute to high-quality CI initiatives are the

responsibility of leaders and include:

  • clearly developing and articulating a common vision and objectives;
  • performing regular needs assessments;
  • ongoing planning and adaptation; evaluation;
  • securing funding; fiscal management;
  • supporting and supervising staff; and
  • providing staff training.
slide-26
SLIDE 26

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 2: Effective Collaboration

  • Involves identifying relevant stakeholders who

actively support program goals and who have clearly identified roles and responsibilities.

  • Collaborative efforts build a broad base of support in the community and
  • f key stakeholders for program implementation, success, and

sustainability.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 3: Understanding the Community

  • Entails having knowledge of community needs and resources;

having respect for community members, and involving key community members in programs. Particular considerations include:

  • socioeconomic and political considerations;
  • community participation in programs;
  • honoring community values and cultural relevance;
  • cultivating key community leader support; and
  • utilizing indigenous staff.
slide-28
SLIDE 28

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 4: Demonstrating Results

  • Evaluating process and outcomes using acceptable research

methods and informing stakeholders of the results of those evaluations is critical.

  • Evaluation must assess the intervention and subsequent program modifications

focusing on measurable results.

  • Evaluation findings can then be used to leverage current successes for

establishing future funding.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 5: Strategic Funding

  • Includes having plans and resources in place to support current

and prospective program requirements.

  • Intentional planning for continued funding includes an analysis of

short-term and long-term funding needs;

  • developing a range of financing options; and
  • recognizing that sustainability is enhanced when there is diversity in

funding streams.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 6: Staff Involvement and Integration

  • Inclusion of committed, qualified staff in the design,

implementation, evaluation and decision making develops a culture that values broad-based participation in working toward program sustainability and success.

  • Supporting program goals occurs more readily when staff are important

components in the organization and make the organization their own.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 7: Community Responsivity

  • The ability of a CI initiative to adapt to meet changes in

community needs is critical.

  • Although CI Initiatives may maintain their overall goals, strategies may

need change to address evolving issues and contexts.

  • An important consideration in programs is the ability of the initiative to

be modified to continually meet changing community needs and resources.

slide-32
SLIDE 32

www.tamarackcommunity.ca

Factor 8: Learning and Innovation

  • Building in a culture of learning and continuous improvement

enables the initiative to evolve over time. Innovative practices leverage learning.
