We need a better way to solve big problems.

 

 

These are tough times for those of us working in international affairs—especially in the humanitarian and development sectors.

 

The challenges are mounting, and the systems built to confront them are starting to crack under the pressure.

 

Moments of crisis call for bold action.

 

At the Global Strategic Initiatives Group, we’re developing a new way to create the innovative, ambitious and pragmatic solutions we need.

We call it the
Big Bet Sprint

 

The Big Bet Sprint is a facilitated process for designing and testing transformational solutions to pressing international challenges—in less than a week.

It’s a new approach to solving complex global challenges—fast—that combines strategic ambition with rapid problem-solving techniques.

We’re still developing it, but the core idea is simple:

Think bigger, move faster.

This is an early-stage experiment, and we’re sharing it as we go.
