Supporting

the Growth and Impact of Networked 

Communities

Spark helps build impactful networks in healthcare, education and social services.

Spark helps people and organizations partner for impact by strengthening three areas:

People & Practices

We help build the necessary capabilities for networks to succeed, including leadership, governance, and engagement. We teach the skills required to collaborate, test ideas, use system improvement methods, make meaning from data, and accelerate change.

We help networks establish the essential systems they need to operate effectively. This includes shared data registries, workflows, agreements, a knowledge commons, and technology partnerships that reduce friction and enhance scalability, allowing networks to "self-organize" and grow.

Platforms & Infrastructure

We strengthen the broader field by connecting networks, convening networked communities, hosting cross-network learning "sandboxes," and advocating for the policies, partnerships, and resources required for networks to flourish.

Ecosystem & Community

Our Mission is to achieve transformational impacts on outcomes across complex societal problems—like healthcare and education—by building and fostering a community of networks and spreading the methods that mobilize collective expertise, experience, and action.

We envision a future in which networked organizing is a widely used, trusted way of working—enabling effective, equitable, sustainable systems that continuously learn and improve. In this future, people thrive because they collaborate to learn what works and act on it together..
