This document summarizes a study conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation on 150 impact platforms. Some key findings include:
- Platform data and technologies are often not interoperable or replicable, leading to duplication of efforts.
- Many platforms have fragile business models and cannot cover operating expenses due to a reliance on grants.
- However, there is a strong desire among platforms for increased collaboration in areas like technology and deal sourcing.
- While platforms understand the need to collaborate, functional and financial limitations have prevented more cooperation. Increased innovation and cooperation could help platforms better achieve sustainable impact at scale.

The Transforming Health Systems (THS) initiative was one of The Rockefeller Foundation’s largest global health initiatives. Aligned with the Foundation’s mission to promote the well-being of humanity, THS aimed to improve the health status and financial resilience of poor and otherwise vulnerable populations through activities promoting improved health systems performance and the expansion of universal health coverage (UHC).
This report synthesizes findings from a five-year, multicomponent evaluation of the THS initiative. The objectives of the evaluation were to assess i) the effectiveness of the three core strategies – global advocacy, regional networks, and country-level investments – employed under THS to advance progress toward UHC in low- and middle-income countries in four focus countries, ii) the overall effectiveness and influence of the initiative, and iii) the Foundation’s legacy in the UHC arena. A key component of the evaluation was to document lessons learned from achievements and challenges to inform the development of future initiatives at the Foundation.
Overall, the evaluation found the THS initiative to be successful in its efforts to activate a global movement to accelerate progress toward UHC. The Foundation catalyzed and shaped the global UHC movement and, ultimately, influenced the inclusion of UHC in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the post-2015 agenda. It also created enduring cross-learning platforms and tools to support country progress toward the SDGs’ UHC targets. Although THS gained less traction in advancing UHC through its focus country investments, its success in making UHC a global development target and creating networks and coalitions to support UHC reform efforts in LMICs will likely have country-level impacts for years to come.

This document proposes an integrated approach to youth and student programs through four stages: mentoring, tutoring, interning, and launching. It argues this continuum would provide comprehensive economic opportunities and engagement by linking experiences to knowledge and careers. The approach would use technology platforms to minimize barriers and generate revenue across communities. Goals include establishing partnerships in 30% of regions within a year and creating unique delivery models leveraging existing networks and media to attract resources and participants. It proposes a "Youth and Student Collaboratory" national platform and non-profit to host forums, identify trends, and leverage youth innovation.

This document proposes strategies for sustainable manufacturing and innovation-oriented growth leveraging water resources and location. It discusses how water can provide competitive advantages and how a focus on location remains important in innovation strategies. The document advocates developing manufacturing, food production, and delivery models that are more sustainable and make better use of water resources and logistics networks.
This document proposes an integrated approach to youth and student engagement called the Youth and Student Collaboratory. It would bring together the fragmented existing mentoring, tutoring, interning, and entrepreneurship programs into a single continuum. The goal is to help youth and students access the knowledge and experiences needed for academic and career success through affordable and measurable partnerships between organizations. A national technology platform would minimize barriers and generate revenue to support the model on a long-term basis.

21st Century Academic Enterprises & InnovationAccelerateH2O
This document discusses the need for 21st century academic research enterprises to better link their work to addressing national challenges and supporting regional economies. It argues that while universities have traditionally focused internally on education and research, the demands of the global knowledge economy require them to more actively engage with external partners through commercialization, collaboration and other initiatives. The document examines some past models for greater university-industry-government partnerships and argues that academic institutions must evolve their engagement models to maintain their relevance and maximize their economic and social impacts.
Measuring Comparative Benefits Of Arra SpendingAccelerateH2O
This document provides an overview of the National Dashboard Project, which aims to precisely and quickly measure the impacts and benefits of federal investments. The Dashboard combines various data sources and analytical techniques to provide a more sophisticated way to estimate the economic impacts of federal initiatives. It allows comparison of initiatives across industries and locations. Initial findings from an analysis of ARRA spending in two Midwestern cities show healthcare and education jobs provided higher economic benefits than energy or transportation jobs in one city, while the benefits were more evenly distributed across job types in the other city. Further analysis of differences in local economies can provide insights to optimize future spending.
This document outlines a model for 21st century innovation intermediaries that aim to accelerate innovation and drive regional economic growth. It discusses how traditional technology-based economic development models are outdated and must shift focus to innovation. The proposed model centers on connecting regional talent, technologies, and resources to collaborate on innovation. It also discusses functions of innovation intermediaries in convening regions and accelerating technologies to market. The best practice of Innovation Philadelphia is provided as an example that established programs to connect the regional innovation economy and fill gaps.

• Provides
a
way
to
compare
the

and
the

These
metrics
can
be
compared
to

7. The
Tools
for
End-‐Users
The
Dashboard
has
been
designed
to
provide
the
greatest
breadth
of
end-‐
user
experience.
To
ensure
that
first-‐
4me
users
as
well
as
those
returning
to
the
Dashboard
can
easily
move
throughout
the
data-‐sets,
informa4on
sources,
and
repor4ng
func4onali4es.
End-‐users
have
several
pathways
to
select
to
obtain
their
answers.
Star4ng
from
selec4ng
their
state,
county,
or
other
jurisdic4on
will
begin
the
process
of
selec4ng
further
the
customized
models,
scenarios
and
examples.
End-‐users
will
not
have
access
directly
to
the
raw-‐data
sets,
but
will
have
a
broad
range
of
op4ons
(nearly
35+)
on
which
to
select
for
historical,
current
and
future
report
crea4on.
And
end-‐
users
along
with
the
Center/
Consor4um
stakeholders
are
welcome
to
suggest
new
metrics
and
measures.
8. Geeng
Started
Dashboard
end-‐users
are
directed
to
the
Mapping

as
a
jump-‐start
to
their
experience
online.
On
the
Mapping
page,
the
en4re
range
of
exploring
the
data,
reports,
and
materials
comes
to
life.
In
this
instance
and
for
purpose
of
demonstra4on,
we
have
highlighted
Greater
St.
Louis
and
Greater
Toledo
–
two
different
and
unique
economies
and
geographies
facing
economic
challenges
and
recovery
from
divergent
perspec4ves.
For
example,

10. Four
op4ons
start
the
process
–
the
first
is
around
historical
and
current
obligated
Federal
grants
and
contracts
from
600+
programs
and
gives
the
End-‐User
a
baseline
on
which
to
define
how
much
funding
has
come
to
their
community,
from
which
agencies
and
sub-‐agency
programs,
for
what
purposes,
and
who
received
the
dollars.
Other
op4ons
take
End-‐Users
to
Employment,
Impact
Modeling,
and
the
Scenarios’
pages
and
repor4ng
func4ons.
11. Drilling
into
the
Data
The
Dashboard
data
is
organized
into
three
(3)
sources
–
ARRA
in
later
2008/2009
and
now
2010,
Federal
Obliga4ons
of
non-‐ARRA
for
the
past
7
years
and
going
forward,
and
then
Local
Spending
(Procurement
and
Contrac4ng)
both
non-‐ARRA
and
ARRA
related
for
the
past
7
years.
Note
that
each
diagram
has
a
legend
detailing
what
an
End-‐
User
should
take-‐away
from
the
informa4on
and
the
report.
12. Drill-‐Down
Data
Knowledge
By
clicking
onto
a
slice
of
the
previous
pie
chart,
an
End-‐User
will
be
taken
to
addi4onal
charts
detailing
a
number
of
new
elements
of
knowledge.
In
this
instance,
we
are
looking
at
every
source
of
Transporta4on
and
Infrastructure
coming
into
Toledo
under
the
2009
ARRA
dollars.
It
is
informa4ve
that
transporta4on
and
infrastructure
dollars
can
come
from
several
agencies
that
are
not
oGen
considered
resources
to
a
community,
nor
are
recognized
for
the
role
in
equipment,
facili4es,
and
broadband
related
federal
investments.
13. Under
the
Employment
Tab
End-‐Users
have
access
to
a
host
of
new
informa4on
on
this
page
and
the
subsequent
data
reports.
On
this
page,
End-‐Users
can
see
a
variety
of
themes
in
the
right
hand
column
on
which
to
create
their
reports
–
select
a
year,
select
Transporta4on/
Infrastructure
or
other
theme,
select
variables.
In
selec4ng
the
geography
–
the
reports
will
drill-‐down
to
Coun4es,
Congressional
Districts,
COGs-‐MPOs,
and
Ci4es.
14. Under
the
employment
op7on,
we
have
modeled
using
REMI,
the
effec7ve
job
crea7on
from
2009
grant
and
contract
investments
in
Federal/Non-‐ARRA,
ARRA,
and
Local
Procurement.
This
side-‐by-‐side
comparison
details
that
compara7ve
analysis
available
throughout
the
Dashboard.
15. By
selec4ng
the
addi4onal
op4ons,
End-‐Users
can
drill-‐down
even
further
to
more
data
across
program
or
clusters,
across
several
years,
and
across
job/
employment
related
ac4vi4es
based
on
those
grant
and
contract
programs.
16. Under
Impact
Analysis,
the
End-‐User
has
op7ons
to
review
various
modeled
outcomes
from
obligated
and
spent
dollars.
One
of
the
unique
aspects
of
the
Dashboard
is
to
see
where
impacts
might
occur
along
the
flow-‐of-‐funds
–
and
which
types
of
projects
have
different
impacts
because
of
program
design.
For
instance,
repairing
a
bridge
versus
a
replacement
bridge
requiring
an
environmental
impact
study
before
any
concrete
or
rebar
is
purchased.
17. By
selec7ng
the
Impact
Analysis,
the
End-‐User
can
visually
see
the
various
model
results
on
job
crea7on,
sectors,
and
sources
of
funding
by
sub-‐category.
Again
predic7ve
and
comparable
analy7cs
suggests
unique
findings:
how
much
funding
and
employment
is
staying
in
the
region
versus
leaving
to
have
impacts
in
other
locali7es.
18. Federal
funding
in
2009
impacted
beyond
the
direct
employment
in
construc7on.
Other
sectors
and
jobs
were
created
indirectly
in
state
and
local
government,
retail
trade,
and
professional
services
in
Toledo.
This
direct
and
indirect
data
drill-‐
down
signals
broader
implica7ons
–
are
these
high
wage,
sustainable
jobs?
19. The
value
for
the
End-‐User
from
the
Dashboard’s
myriad
data,
func7onality,
and
perspec7ve
capabili7es
is
to
assist
with
alignment
and
coordina7on
ques7ons
among
federal,
state,
and
local
interests
so
as
to
ensure
effec7ve
use
of
funds.
Here
local
spending
is
strongly
impac7ng
Energy
whereas
ARRA
and
Non-‐ARRA
dollars
impacted
Infrastructure
and
Health
Care.
20. Scenario

The
following
graphics
represent
the

of
the
Dashboard
through
the
iden7fica7on
of
unique
and
powerful

solving
challenges
among
federal,
state
and
local

In
addi7on,
the
Scenarios
sec7on
fosters
more
discussion
about
the
impact
of
coordina7on,
alignment,
and
integra7on
of
funding
programs,
metrics,
desired
outcomes.
Star7ng
again
with
the
geography
or
going
directly
to
the
Scenario
sec7on,
the
reports
easily
impress
End-‐Users
on
debate,
discussion
and
policy
recommenda7ons.
These
Scenario
examples
bring
together
many
disparate
pieces
of
data
and
knowledge
to
tell
a
story
about
the
impacts
of
spending,
investment,
and
collec7ve
resource
alloca7on.
21. Flow
of
Funds
Lag-‐Time:
what
is
the
7me-‐gap
between
an
announcement
by
a
Federal
agency
and
the
actual
spending
impact
at
the
local
procurement
levels?
Why
do
we
not
see
job
crea7on
or
new
company
forma7on
faster
with
some
programs
or
even
loca7ons
as
compared
to
other
similar
communi7es
and
regions?
These
types
of
Scenarios
go
beyond
number
coun7ng
and
towards
raising
issues
requiring
aben7on
immediately
if
metrics
and
impacts
are
to
improve.
22. Na4onal,
Regional,
and
Local
Scenario
Outcomes
for
Lag-‐Time
Challenges
By
assessing
and
analyzing
several
areas
of
spending
from
ARRA
and
non-‐ARRA
grants
and
contracts
–
based
on
allocated,
adver7sed,
and
awarded
programs
–
into
communi7es
across
the
Na7on,
one
can
see
the
effect
those
dollars
have
had
on
job
crea7on,
spending,
and
direct-‐indirect
impacts
for
a
set
period
of
7me.
The
gap
in
7me
indicates
that
various
programs
can
take
months
–
and
worse
years
–
to
restart
economic
growth.
The
Center
and
the
Consor7um
will
work
with
leaders
across
the
Na7on
to
capture
even
more
robust
local
informa7on
on
lag-‐7mes,
public
policies
that
could
be
improved
to
reduce
such
lag-‐7mes,
and
where
places
in
the
Na7on
have
found
immediate
solu7ons
for
conver7ng
grants
and
contracts
into
payroll
checks
and
purchasing.
23. Bang
for
the
Buck:
End-‐users
want
to
know
that
the
ARRA
and
non-‐ARRA
spending
is
crea7ng
bang
for
the
buck
in
job
crea7on
–
and
in
which
sectors
the
cost
per
job
created
can
be
benchmarked
against
average
wage,
against
other
types
of
jobs,
and
against
the
long-‐term
value
or
benefit
for
economic
growth.
The
Dashboard
includes
data
that
is
modeled
and
assessed
to
produce
snapshots
of
which
jobs
have
greatest
benefit
versus
those
that
might
not
produce
a
strong
local
product
or
por`olio.
24. Na4onal-‐Regional
Innova4on
Index:
Under
the
Scenario
op7on,
end-‐users
will
have
an
opportunity
to
explore
how
their
community
par7cipates
in
the
engines
of
economic
innova7on
–
and
thus
how
to
leverage
several
resources,
assets,
and

to
spark
new
products
and

for
future
growth.
With
increased

Chain:
Leveraging
its
REMI
modeling
by
linking
job

output
with
Monster.com’s
extensive

chain
to
define
near-‐term
gaps
and
long-‐term
capability
to
sustain

is
through
the
