Social Research and Development
Professional social R&D in the worlds of collective impact – for promoting the approach in Israel and for the benefit of our own initiatives
From practice to theory
At Sheatufim, one of our main strategies is to create practical knowledge and share it with everyone in the social field. As part of this, we’ve previously developed social management theory and tools for social managers, as well as professional knowledge about public participation, collective impact, and impact spheres. All of these focus on putting theory from Israel and around the world into action based on real-world insights. Our R&D strategy is constantley changing and growing, with a focus on social research and new ideas. We use these approaches to create knowledge based on actions and data-driven insights, which are key principles in our collective impact approach.
