Achieving The Rockefeller Foundation’s goals to build resilience and advance inclusive economies requires moving beyond traditional approaches to problem-solving. New ways of thinking and working are needed in order to have impact at scale. The Rockefeller Foundation Global Fellowship Program on Social Innovation was designed to enable leaders to innovate in order to address the underlying causes of complex social and environmental challenges. With two successive cohorts of Fellowships now complete and a third underway, the timing is right to reflect on what the Foundation is learning about
building individual and institutional capacity to innovate and drive systems change.
