WIOA Thou shall, may, and, or … What questions arise from these sections of the law? What is our vision for workforce development in MN? What are the range of options that can be realistically address? How will regional plans and distributive models be supported? What time frame can be set for reasonable system change? What is meant by alignment? How do we leverage key partners to achieve goals? What will it mean to customers – job seekers and employers? What are the internal and external forces that impact progress? Do we have the right approach and players to have an impact? WIOA One-Stop System Design Workgroup

7 Study and understand WIOA from the perspective of system-wide alignment at the state level to inform and make recommendations to the Governor, state agencies, the Governor’s Workforce Development Council, Local Workforce Development Boards and Chief Elected Officials. What framework could be used to address the approach of this Workgroup’s charge to increase alignment, efficiencies and outcomes? Collective Impact Definition – the commitment of a group of actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a complex social problem

8 Determine Approach Funder Collaboratives | support same issue through pooled resources. Public-Private Partnerships | government and private sector organizations delivering specific services or benefits. Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives | voluntary activities from different sectors around a common theme. Social Sector Networks | organizations fluidly connected through purposeful relationships. Collective Impact Initiatives | long-term commitments by important actors from different sectors. Type of Problem Technical problems are well defined, the answer is known in advance, and one or a few organizations have the ability to implement the solution. Adaptive problems are complex, the answer is not known nor singular, and even if it were, no single entity has the resources or authority to bring about the necessary change. Collective Impact Process Common Agenda | all participants have a shared vision for change, including a common understanding of the problem and approach. Shared Measurement Systems | Developing a shared measurement system is essential to collective impact. Mutually Reinforcing Activities | A diverse group of stakeholders working together by encouraging each participant to undertake the specific set of activities at which it excels. Continuous Communication | Participants need several years of regular meetings to build up enough experience with each other to recognize and appreciate the common motivation behind their different efforts. Backbone Support Organizations | A separate organization and staff with a very specific set of skills to serve as the backbone for the entire initiative. Role of Funder(s)* Take responsibility for assembling the elements of a solution; Create a movement for change; include solutions from outside the nonprofit sector; Use actionable knowledge to influence behavior; Improve performance. Collective Impact Overview One-Stop System Design Workgroup

9 Common Agenda Establish a shared vision for change based on a mutually agreed to and understood problem and approach by the required partners. HOW DO THE UNDERLYING PURPOSES OF WIOA HELP US SET A COMMON AGENDA? Shared Measurement Systems Develop a set of shared measures, based on individual program requirements and other criteria that measure system change and non-program requirements, i.e. disparate impact issues and other socio-economic goals.

10 Mutually Reinforcing Activities Create state-level policies that direct practices and resources toward achieving goals of the Workforce Development Areas, taking into consideration regional and local planning. “UNSESSION” POLICY CHANGES TO ALIGN SYSTEMS, SUPPORT REGIONAL/LOCAL PLANNING? Continuous Communication Establish the communication requirements for the interaction of oversight entities - include the State agencies involved, GWDC, MWCA and other coordinating stakeholder groups. DEVELOP A CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION STRATEGY/PLAN BASED ON NEW SYSTEM ALIGNMENT AND MEASURES? Backbone Support Organizations Establish the roles and responsibilities of the oversight agencies involved with the effort.
