AIA/NDIA TENNESSEE STEM WORKFORCE DIVISION MEETING » ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE

Common Agenda

Collective impact requires all participants to have a shared vision for change, one that includes a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions.

Shared Measurement Systems

Collecting data and measuring results consistently on a short list of indicators at the community level and across all participating organizations not only ensures that all efforts remain aligned, it also enables the participants to hold each other accountable and learn from each other’s successes and failures.

Mutually Reinforcing Activities

Collective impact initiatives depend on a diverse group of stakeholders working together, not by requiring that all participants do the same thing, but by encouraging each participant to undertake the specific set of activities at which it excels in a way that supports and is coordinated with the actions of others.

Continuous Communication

Participants hold regular meetings to build up enough experience with each other to recognize and appreciate the common motivation behind their different efforts. They need time to see that their own interests will be treated fairly, and that decisions will be made on the basis of objective evidence and the best possible solution to the problem, not to favor the priorities of one organization over another.

Backbone Support Organizations

Creating and managing collective impact requires a separate organization and staff with a very specific set of skills to serve as the backbone for the entire initiative. Coordination takes time, and none of the participating organizations has any to spare. The expectation that collaboration can occur without a supporting infrastructure is one of the most frequent reasons why it fails.

AIA/NDIA Tennessee STEM Workforce Meeting

The AIA/NDIA STEM Workforce Division strives to provide a forum for effective interaction between government, industry, academia, and the public at large for the strengthening of the national security Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. Bringing together participants in the national level AIA and NDIA workforce efforts with Tennessee STEM workforce and education stakeholders to share best practices, expand the “toolbox” of ideas for engaging the Tennessee STEM community and identify solution outcomes.
