Process and Strategy
Our process is an iterative process in that it is ever-evolving and adapting to the needs of our community. This graphic comes from Collective Impact and speaks to the creation, development, implementation, maturation, and re-creation phases of a healthy cycle.
Double Helix Design
Double Helix Design
Another way to think about this work is the double helix model that most of us will remember from biology and how our DNA model looks. In a double helix model, the work is cyclic; however, in this kind of cycle, as the work is re-energized and reformed, rather than coming around and staying in the same place like a circle, this model is always moving forward. Our work should make an impact and we should improve. Our practice should move forward.
