10. Working with Governments Towards Scalable Solutions

What if scalable solutions ultimately need to be integrated within a government system? What should be the mindset of leaders as they explore government partnerships? To explore these topics and share wisdom from an extensive career in public service, finance, business, and technology is the CEO of the Skoll Foundation, Don Gips. Jeff Skoll, a social entrepreneur and philanthropist, created the Skoll Foundation in 1999 to pursue his vision of a sustainable world of peace and prosperity for all. The Foundation invests in, connects, and champions social entrepreneurs and other social innovators who together advance bold and equitable solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. With equity at the center of its evolving strategy, the Skoll Foundation seeks to shift the trajectory of urgent global challenges including health and pandemics, inclusive economies, climate action, effective governance, and racial justice.
