22. “Visions are subjective expressions of our values manifested in the form of a possible future. A vision is defined by what we are for rather than what we are against.” --Gabriel B. Grant

23. Problem-based Thinking Communicating in terms of a problem often leads to denial, resistance, and polarization Focusing on problems limits thinking to solutions that are “good enough” – May result in “rebound effect,” when symptoms come back stronger because the solution only avoided an unwanted outcome and failed to create the desired outcome

24. Vision-oriented Thinking Communicating in terms of a vision may inspire others and create opportunities for finding alignment Focusing on a possible future expands thinking to alternative solutions or paths – May identify root causes or integrative solutions that lead to the desired outcome

25. COLLECTIVE IMPACT PLANNING

26. What does a Collective Impact Plan DO/What is it? Through active community involvement, it yields a vision of what a neighborhood sees for its future Details clear goals to achieve that vision Articulates an action plan to reach those goals
