Why do great intent coupled with a great team still not lead to great impact?
How to engage in the complex education system within India?
When will we act to curtail the threats of climate change?

With organisations ranging from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Acumen Fund to Boeing, to even the British Government embedding this approach in their work towards SDGs & towards designing for the future, it’s high time to understand the practice that potential system holds. Systems thinking is a new wave of thinking posing important questions to the future of development approaches and the work we do towards impact.

Join us for this enlightening talk and an in-depth panel discussion, where we discuss a "Systems Approach" to complex problems, with Vikram Jain, Director, FSG, talking about his market-based solution for India's education sector, sharing his perspective from the trenches, and Prof. Sandy Smith-Nonini, Anthropologist, University of North Carolina, elaborating on why our current approaches are still insufficient to address the complex challenges we face as humanity. The fascinating subject and panel will be moderated by Aakriti Gupta, CEO, Unbound, who brings in her expertise from her work with the private sector and the development sector, to discuss the challenges and advantages of using a Systems mindset.

The panel will be followed by refreshments, and an opportunity to network with colleagues from across top firms in the development as well as the private sector.
