| Synopsis: |
This is the first comprehensive guide to creating and managing social-impact networks that tackle complex, unpredictable problems. Written by the three leading thinkers and practitioners in the non-profit field, this resource will help organisations enhance their reach and effectiveness. Something new and important is afoot. Non-profit and philanthropic organisations are under increasing pressure to do more and to do better to increase and improve productivity with fewer resources. Social entrepreneurs, community-minded leaders, non-profit organisations, and philanthropists now recognise that to achieve greater impact they must adopt a network-centric approach to solving difficult problems. Building networks of like-minded organisations and people offers them a way to weave together and create strong alliances that get better leverage, performance, and results than any single organisation is able to do. While the advantages of such networks are clear, there are few resources that offer easily understandable, field-tested information on how to form and manage social-impact networks.Drawn from the authors' deep experience with more than thirty successful network projects, Connecting to Change the World provides the frameworks, practical advice, case studies, and expert knowledge needed to build better performing networks. Readers will gain greater confidence and ability to anticipate challenges and opportunities. Easily understandable and full of actionable advice, Connecting to Change the World is an informative guide to creating collaborative solutions to tackle the most difficult challenges society faces. |
