COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN THE BI-NATIONAL ST. CLAIR-DETROIT RIVER SYSTEM

A 2011 paper by John Kania and Mark Kramer outlined five elements of effective collaborations tackling complex, difficult social and environmental problems now known as “Collective Impact.” Many of these elements, such as “continuous communication,” “backbone organization,” and developing a “common agenda,” have been key components of the St. Clair-Detroit River System Initiative (SCDRS). SCDRS is a bi-national environmental initiative in southeast Michigan and southwest Ontario that brings together more than 30 organizations, including U.S. and Canadian natural resource-related agencies, Tribes/First Nations, units of local government, industry and university partners, non-profits, and interested citizens to develop a common vision: the restoration of portions of southern Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, and western Lake Erie to a thriving ecosystem with science-based management and broad social support that provides environmental services for the region and the Great Lakes basin. This presentation will explore the five Collective Impact elements, their current application within SCDRS, and their potential application elsewhere. Kania, J. and M. Kramer. 2011.
