When you’re a do-gooder, making a real difference is the result that matters most.
The LightBox Collaborative helps you increase your impact in a fresh, practical way. Our approach is to assist organizations like yours articulate what you’ve achieved, set your sights on new goals, and stretch toward excellence.
You and your team have what it takes to succeed; the LightBox Collaborative’s task is to dial up the wattage.
The way we work is always customized to your needs. We find that the most effective approach combines the five elements you need to supercharge impact:
1 :: ILLUMINATION
We shed light on the big questions that change-makers must ask of themselves – and of the world. Our work begins with a research and discovery phase during which we synthesize your deep knowledge and the needs of your community with our experience, expertise, and energetic perspective. We dig deep and offer sound, productive advice that you can use to reflect on your organization.
Sample Deliverable: A “New Light Research Report” to offer illumination.
2 :: INTENTION
We help you articulate your ambitions, define your benchmarks, and craft a strategic approach to achieve them. Then, we urge you to celebrate having created a clear roadmap towards your goals.
Sample Deliverable: A “Spectrum of Success Manifesto” to clarify intention.
3 :: INSIGHT
Our job is to share new methods and means to meet your goals. During this phase, we engineer the “A-ha!” moments that lead to meaningful progress within your organization. Often these powerful moments happen in real-time, through conversations with work groups or during the strategy meetings we lead.
Sample Deliverable: A “Bright Lights Recommendation Report” to provide insight and align your resources.
4 :: INSPIRATION
In order to make a difference, we must first make meaning. We help you define the challenge, make the case for solutions, and craft engagement approaches that motivate action. And then we set a work plan to get it all done, aligning your team around a common vision and identifying the means to share it with your community.
Sample Deliverable: A “Flip the Switch Action Plan” to put inspiration into action.
5 :: IMPACT
We empower you prove your success to your funders, your constituents, and your community. We offer practical tools to assess results, measure progress towards goals, and share your successes.
Sample Deliverable: The “Evaluation Wattage Meter” to track impact.
