Bridge Institute
We believe that the world's biggest problems (be it climate, equality, humanitarian crises) are systemic, which means no one (no government, no business, no philanthropist) can solve them on their own. It means it takes the whole system must come together, in partnership, and for the long-haul. It means there are multiple root causes, requiring multiple solutions, which need careful coordination. This is the work of the Bridge Institute. We bring senior leaders of government, business and civil society together, grouped around the critical root causes. We facilitate a breakthrough thinking event to create the blueprint of solutions, and then oversee its implementation. We stay friends with everyone and non-partisan. We have applied this approach now for 15 years, in areas of conflict resolution, combatting human trafficking, education reform, etc, with great impact - and passionately believe the world's biggest problems need this approach.
