Collaborative Team Structure

Picture

Our journey is guided by Ten Principles for Collective Action:

  • A Shared Agenda  
    Embedding principles of economic and social justice, collective work and responsibility, workplace democracy, asset development and community peace initiatives to lift up underserved families and communities.
  • Research and Evidence-based Practice
    Applying research and evidence-based practices to inform our work and strategy.
  • Partnerships with High-Performing Organizations and Businesses 
    Aligning with strategic partners with a shared commitment to, and capacity for high performance.
  • Leadership Engagement  
    Ensuring EDs/CEOs of our partner institutions share this agenda and prioritize implementation and to view leadership as a moral vocation.
  • Rigorous Outcomes, Evaluation and Continuous Improvement
    Using a framework and methodology for both process and outcome evaluation and embracing the ethic of continuous improvement.
  • Collaborative Management Information Systems
    Tracking not only Revolution Institute outcomes, but tracking cross-agency and inter-agency inputs, outputs, outcomes, impact and value chain performance.
  • Communal “Table” for Cross-Sector Work
    Working bi-laterally and structurally with individual practitioners and institutions, while simultaneously creating a common and communal table for public/private and cross sector stakeholders.
  • Communication Rooted in Dignity and Humanity
    Telling our story. We must define ourselves, speak for ourselves and control our own narrative.
  • Policy, Advocacy and Organizing
    Championing the aspirations of our constituents, partners and community through policy, advocacy and organizing.
  • Sustainability and Replication
    Delivering on a resource development strategy to support our work over a sustained period of time. We must promote the gospel for the indispensable need to share promising practices.
