Summary

Introduction

The Collective Impact approach to social change is a relatively recent phenomenon. It had its origins in three seminal papers published by published by FSG Consulting between 2011 and 2013 in the Stanford Social Innovation Review (Hanleybrown, Kania, & Kramer, 2012; Kania & Kramer, 2011, 2013). The framework was assembled by the author as part of wider research towards a doctoral thesis (Marshall, 2019) It was developed through a process of theoretical bricolage (Denzin & Lincoln, 2000; Kincheloe, 2001) involving a critically reflective literature review of previously verified theory that is brought together in the framework carried out over a number of years. It consists of 4 main strands: ecological theory of human development (Bronfenbrenner, 1979); interpersonal neurobiology (Siegel, 2012a, 2012b); the theory of power and practices (Bourdieu, 1977, 1984, 1986, 1990; Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992) and the theories of knowledge constitutive interests and communicative action (Habermas, 1978, 1987, 1988)
