For the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of working at the Tamarack Institute, where we observe, document, and teach collective action to individuals and communities seeking to improve their social and economic conditions. We have landed on five core ideas to explain and teach this community change. These are: collective impact, community engagement, community innovation, collaborative leadership, and evaluating community change.
