Cross Sector Collaboration
Tackle Complex Social and Environmental Challenges
Due East brings proven tools and techniques to help leaders build effective and inclusive cross-sector collaborations that achieve measurable and sustainable results in their communities and across the country.
Mobilize Collective Action for Lasting and Equitable Change
Social sector organizations are increasingly relied upon to address society’s biggest challenges. Due East enables leaders to collaborate with a diversity of partners across sectors – government, nonprofit, business, philanthropy, faith, civic – united by a common agenda, coordinated strategies and shared accountability for results. We bring practical tools, models and experience forging cross-sector collaborations to tackle systemic issues such as literacy, relational violence, homelessness, clewan water and climate change.
Building Capacity of the Backbone
Due East assesses your organizations readiness and helps you prepare to efficiently and effectively coordinate partners, activity, data and communications to maximize collective impact.
Constituent Mapping and Engagement
We help you identify, recruit and engage key system, sector and community leaders, as well as individuals with lived and living experience needed to achieve lasting change.
Driving with Data to Achieve Results
We work with your organization and the collaborative’s leadership to gather and analyze quantitative and qualitative data to inform thoughtful strategy development and drive measurable and equitable population-level outcomes.
Build and Manage Inclusive Collaboratives
Collaborations can be challenging as talented leaders get mired in meetings or thwarted by competing agendas. Yet authentic, inclusive collaboration is essential to make positive change stick. Due East uses proven techniques such as Human-Centered Design to bring all of the necessary individuals and organizations “to the table” as full partners throughout the planning and implementation, including those you are trying to serve.
Co-create a Shared Agenda to Drive Results
With input and feedback from all key constituents, Due East guides your cross-sector collaborative through the development of a compelling vision and common agenda – priorities, strategies and results. We work with your leadership team or guiding coalition to develop a progress framework to anchor its long-term vision in tangible and equitable outcomes and promote shared accountability for progress. Due East translates your common agenda into a sustainable implementation plan to guide and steer program-level work and allow you to efficiently track progress across the collaborative.
