The Project U-Turn Refresh:

A Collective Impact Journey

December 6th, 2017

Presented by: Roxolana Barnebey, Philadelphia Youth Network Meg Long, Equal Measure Bilal Taylor, Equal Measure

Session Goals

 Introduce the Project U-Turn refresh  Share tools from the Project U-Turn refresh  2 or 3 moments for participants to reflect on their practice  Engage in dialogue about the applicability of lessons learned for the collective field

Before we get on the “road”

 What burning questions do you have that prompted you to attend this session?  What do you want to learn most that can help you tomorrow in your work?  Poll: Which stage best describes your collaborative at present? emerging, established, in transition, or ready for renewal.

Starting the Journey

 Internal and external factors precipitating the renewal process  Scanning national models  Data collection/weighing options  Sharing our tools

The Right Time for Renewal

Despite the gains made for older youth in Philadelphia between 2006-2015, PUT leadership were confronted with several signals that it was time to reassess how the collaborative could best carry its work forward  Data  Uneven improvements in key outcomes  A mayoral transition  A slowdown in collaborative momentum

The Right Time for Renewal

Seeing these signals, PUT leadership drew on three dynamics that confirmed the moment was right for a collaborative refresh and relaunch  A strong backbone organization (PYN)  Enduring relationships with partners and practitioners  Ongoing investments from national and local funders

Partner interview questions

Rest-Stop #1

 Questions for reflection  Who would need to be engaged to help build consensus around a renewal of your collaborative?  How would members of different tenures describe your collaborative’s outcomes?  How would you handle any potential resistance to a renewal?

Lessons for the Field

 6 Lessons for the collective impact field:  Work with partners to co-create a new vision and structure for the collaborative.  Position collaborative efforts within national movements to maintain momentum and credibility.  Connect the newly emerging agenda to past successes and the current climate.  Restructure the collaborative to match the newly refined agenda.  Clarify partner and backbone roles to enhance accountability for shared goals.  Align backbone role in the new structure with your organizational mission, vision, and strategic future direction.
