Roots to Fruit of Sustainable Community ChangePresented by Tom KlausSlide5

About the R2F Framework

Integrated model for facilitating long-term community change Operationalized and tested in a “nested” backbone configuration: funder > statewide “primary backbone” > 19 local community “backbone coalitions” Framework identifies internal and external processes in play that facilitate long-term community changeSlide6

Internal processes (“roots”): Related to establishing a high performing local coalition backbones

External processes (“fruit): Successfully facilitated by a high performing coaltion to bring about policy, practice, social attitude and behavioral changes in community that “stick” for a long time First wave of annual evaluation to be conducted in early 2015Slide7

R2F ToolsSelf-Assessment (Currently available free upon request)Currently used by community coalitions to assess their progress in both coalition development and community engagement progress

R2F Tailored Implementation Instruction and Training (January, 2015) R2F framework presented as a “min specs” approach to community transitionTailored instruction focused on helping sites develop strategies and tactics for use in their unique communities and situations Slide8

R2F ToolsOnline Evaluation Survey (available by Spring 2015 in conjunction with R2F training and instruction)

Key Initiator Situations

The problem is chronic and previous attempts to solve it have failedStakeholders have divergent worldviews and frames for defining the problemThe system is complex and no one person has a view on the whole problemThe system is fragmented and there is a distinct lack of communication and coordination among the partsThe system is paradoxically dynamic yet stuck and while the influence of various actors shifts over time, there is no meaningful movementThere is some level of anticipation among SOME stakeholders that new, more integrated solutions could emerge

Key Initiator Principles

(Based on the work of Susan Davis)“A deal is a good deal when it is good for all concerned”

Each

member does what s/he loves to do, does uniquely

well,

and does as little

else as possible

Build trust, build collective intelligence, and build momentum

Analyze fast, prototype early, and learn with our hands

Everything

is a hypothesis, even our goal

Differentiate

before we integrate

Leverage

tensions
