The low-carbon transition is an unprecedented challenge.
To answer it, A4MT has developed a new type of approach: the Collective Impact Initiative.

Collective Impact Initiative

How can we design effective engagement programmes? By starting from the bottom-up to make everyone a stakeholder of change. That’s the principle of the Collective Impact Initiative: engaging different stakeholders (in a company, an industry segment, a market, etc.) in a truly operational and shared action program, by adopting a structured form of collaboration.

This innovative approach is founded on 5 interdisciplinary pillars:

Collective
impact
initiative

Vision and
common
goals
Common a vision of
change based on a
shared understanding
of the issue and
an agreed approach
to resolve it.
Shared
measurement
system
Agreeing on a shared
system of analysis
and reporting, with
a list of performance
indicators, in order
to measure and
communicate progress.
Mutually
reinforcing
activities
Coordinating efforts
among stakeholders
to implement a set
of differentiated
activities and
maximize their results.
Continuous
communication
Adopting frequent,
structured
communication to
instill confidence,
promote compliance
and create shared
motivation.
Independent
support
structure
Relying on an
independent, dedicated
and well-funded
teamproviding
continuous support
to guide its strategy
and working with
stakeholders to
ensure the roll-out
and proper operation
of shared tools.

As the support structure, A4MT orchestrates
all the other pillars with stakeholders, thanks to:

A dedicated team, led by an experienced program leader specialized in change management and supported by people with specific profiles (scientists, technicians, communicators, etc.) depending on the program field

Image

Broad and extensive knowledge of both technical and economic aspects, which provides a detailed understanding of the stakes and specificities of each program

Image

Real know-how in implementing programmes in all respects: strategic, technical, logistic, psychological and communication

Image

An ability to reach decision-makers at higher levels (business organizations, government agencies, legislators, etc.): creation of a national charter for an industry, brainstorming on regulations and standards, etc.

CUBE Competition is an annual energy-efficiency contest for non-residential buildings. This program takes a bottom-up approach to raise awareness among employees in participating buildings about energy transition issues, by encouraging them to change their practices in a fun way. This foot in the door can generate sustainable results:

12 %
energy savings

on average over 1 year for participating buildings.

320 000
employees

involved in France alone since the creation of the competition.

87 %
of participants

continue their efforts towards the energy and ecological transition after the competition.
