O Collective Impact<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(sung to the tune of \u2018O Come All Ye Faithful\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n

O Collective Impact,<\/em><\/p>\n

Joyful we triangulate,<\/em><\/p>\n

Collect ye, collect ye thy same data,<\/em><\/p>\n

Come and behold them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Common outcome measures,<\/em><\/p>\n

O come, let us adore them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Much better than before when, <\/em><\/p>\n

No one thought to ask for them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Shared measurements!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

O Common Agenda,<\/em><\/p>\n

Mutually reinforcing,<\/em><\/p>\n

See how evaluation\u2019s now harmonized,<\/em><\/p>\n

Give to your funders, <\/em><\/p>\n

Impacts of the highest,<\/em><\/p>\n

O come, let us adore them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Much better than before when, <\/em><\/p>\n

No one thought to ask for them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Shared measurements!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Strategic philanthropy!<\/em><\/p>\n

Simple, but not easy,<\/em><\/p>\n

Even for projects with backbone support,<\/em><\/p>\n

Yea though we greet Thee,<\/em><\/p>\n

The only way forward,<\/em><\/p>\n

O come, let us adore them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Much better than before when, <\/em><\/p>\n

No one thought to ask for them,<\/em><\/p>\n

Shared measurements!<\/em><\/p>\n
