Deep Collaboration
This online workshop series is for backbone leaders and teams leading collaborative or collective impact work to enable large-scale change in their community. Relevant for those in early phases of the work as well as those who have been leading collaborative change for some time and looking to extend their practice. Facilitated by Eula Rohan, CFI Associate Consultant and Kate Williams, CFI Collaborative Change Practitioner.
Change makers across Australia are faced with increasingly complex social issues. We also know that traditional responses to these issues do not address the underlying social, economic, administrative and political conditions which created the challenges in the first place.
Being a backbone leader and team is a challenging and unique role that has the potential to create significant change in your community.
By participating in this offering you will explore the core concepts of collective impact and collaborative change, as well as the unique history and context that shapes collaborative initiatives in Australia. You will learn alongside those who are working with communities from all over Australia. You will get to apply this learning to your own context and receive feedback and guidance on how to support and develop your collaborative change initiatives. You will come away knowing what is realistic to expect and to achieve in building collaborative initiatives. You will learn from peers, experienced leaders of Backbone Teams and evidence-informed practice from work in Australia and internationally.

Kate’s experience spans diverse populations and geographies, centring on social and community-led change.
Skilled in facilitation, design and stakeholder engagement, Kate has led complex multinational projects through to nuanced, place-based initiatives. Most recently Kate has been living in the West Kimberley Region of Australia convening First Nations Australians around community aspirations and community-led change, with a particular focus on community wealth building and women’s cultural leadership.
Kate’s approach to place-based social change is participatory, strength-based, adaptive, and highly relational. She is committed to walking alongside initiatives, ensuring that they are shaped by diverse perspectives and are community-driven and owned.
Eula has worked across the not-for-profit, government, and corporate sectors to guide and facilitate new ways of collaboratively approaching the complex challenges they face. Her practice is founded in the methodologies of Collaborative Practice, Collective Impact, Adaptive Practice, Systems Change, and Deep Collaboration.
Eula has been fortunate to support many place-based initiatives across urban and remote locations in Australia, to build collaborative partnerships between First Nations peoples, government, other organisations, and sectors. Through her work, she has provided guidance on how to build the foundations for cross-cultural collaboration and partnership. She has established and run start-up backbone organisations that provide a secretariat and coordination role to drive large-scale systems change. Some initiatives she has worked on include Jawun Indigenous Corporate Partnerships: North East Arnhem Land NT, Inner Sydney Empowered Communities: Redfern & La Perouse NSW, Barkly Regional Deal: Tennant Creek NT.
