Introduction to Collaborative Innovation
Transform the way you lead collaborative efforts to achieve lasting systems change!
About This Opportunity
What it is: An introduction to the key elements of Collaborative Innovation—a process model and set of tools that enable leaders to effectively lead impactful change within a group of diverse stakeholders across different sectors. This is a fast-paced, immersive—and at times, challenging—dive into the “Four Agendas” of Collaborative Innovation: connecting, aligning, learning, and making.
Who it's for: Changemakers, leaders, facilitators, collective impact backbone staff, and consultants. If the problem you’re facing seems hugely complicated, with a lot of moving parts across a lot of different groups, this course is the perfect jumping-off point.
What You’ll Gain
Join us for an engaging, hands-on workshop designed to empower you to lead impactful multi-stakeholder collaborations for systems change. This course is perfect for changemakers, leaders, facilitators, collective impact backbone staff, and consultants tackling complex challenges that require a collaborative approach.
The workshop centers around the "four agendas" of collaborative innovation, ensuring you build momentum, accountability, and meaningful change.
Connecting: Learn to build trusting connections across various boundaries and unite a powerful change system.
Aligning: Discover how to align around a clear, deeply shared intent for your collaborative work.
Learning: Gain insights into the larger system and the human experiences within it.
Making: Develop, test, and scale concrete, strategic solutions and interventions.
Our course is not just about learning concepts; it's about offering practical approaches to collaborative changemaking. We will share our learnings about:
The critical elements of successful multi-stakeholder collaborations that thrive on real alignment, engagement, and momentum.
How to confidently convene diverse networks across organizational, sectoral, cultural, and political boundaries.
How to create deeply interactive and human-centered approaches to collaboration that genuinely engage participants.

“We had an overwhelmingly positive response from the people who attended the Introduction to Collaborative Innovation course from the over 50 attendees we supported to attend.

Abby Johnson
“There is so much to take away from this course. It's amazing how relevant this is to so many people's work, it felt awesome to connect across the globe and still share the commonality of wanting a better world and wanting to work in a collaborative, innovative way to achieve it. I specifically love how many of the concepts taught in this course align to Indigenous cultures. The CALM agenda, the ways to work collaboratively, seeking culturally integrative approaches, all resonated so much with me and my culture and gave me the ammunition to continue feeling confident that this is the best way to work.”
