Abstract: In June 2022, Bellwether published the "Pragmatic Playbook," which explored how organizations can employ three strategies to maximize their impact--Direct Impact, Widespread Impact, and Systemic Impact. Over the past three-plus years, dozens of organizations across the country have adopted this framework for strategic decision-making and have used its key principles to communicate priorities in a clear, compelling "external" pitchbook to attract clients, partners, funders, and allies, and as an "internal" playbook to build alignment within their organization. One of the biggest areas of need organizations frequently cite is access to more guidance and resources on how to build their ability to pursue Systemic Impact. This report is the third in a series to support organizations pursuing Systemic Impact strategies and focuses on Systemic Impact specifically within the context of postsecondary pathways. This report is not a strategy or prescription, but rather a tool to be used by organizations working in higher education to understand how authority operates within and across postsecondary systems and to inform their approach for pursuing Systemic Impact strategies.
