Trust not Turf!
ASIT takes a unique approach to collective impact, and we require some essential mindset shifts in our member agencies who participate in Our Place.
We also need to genuinely:
- Truly accept that we must work collaboratively to achieve sustainable, long-term positive impact
- Hold different views simultaneously and take a long-term view
- Able to consider all perspectives
- Willing to give up autonomy and to share attributions
- Capacity for change – always trying to understand ‘other’ position
- Willing to take smart risks
- Committed to a broader agenda
