Mainstage Session: Everything Everywhere All At Once | #CGI2024

There’s no shortage of global challenges to confront. The pressure, speed, and magnitude of these challenges – like climate change, rising inequality, and natural and manmade disasters – are creating the “perfect storm” for those of us committed to making progress on both new and longstanding international development issues. For both those on the frontlines and in positions of power, the ‘ask’ is to increasingly stretch resources, take on new work, and fix systems with an unprecedented urgency. The good news is that, in most cases, there are approaches already working that could be scaled or adapted. The question becomes – how do we marshal the resources and ingenuity to bring these solutions to scale? How do we harness one community solution and replicate it in other geographies or apply lessons learned to new challenges? How can we break down barriers and reorganize our ways of working so that the promise of one good idea has the ability to multiply? In this Mainstage Session, we’ll unpack what it really means to be charged with finding solutions for everything everywhere all at once – and offer insights into how to leverage scale, replication, and innovation to meet the moment.
