Webinar

Join us for the launch of a new video series on system innovation. The webinar will give a practical introduction to key concepts, brought to life through real‑world projects that demonstrate how systems thinking can help address complex humanitarian and development challenges. This webinar is part of the Humanitarian Innovation Programme.

Programme elements

Today's most exciting innovators are tackling big complex challenges by building innovative systems. They bring together people, organizations, technology and resources to deliver powerful solutions. Their creative systems are embracing local capabilities, working in complex environments, and developing sustainable models for support.

During this short online launch event, we will:

Introduce our Systems Innovation video series hosted by HIP mentor and systems innovation expert Dan McClure. The videos provide a fast-moving introduction to the foundational concepts of system innovation.

Share why systems innovation is increasingly critical for addressing persistent humanitarian challenges, highlighting key examples from the Humanitarian Innovation Programme portfolio.

Highlight key insights from the videos and how they can be used in practice.

Open for reflections and questions from participants.

The series is designed for practitioners, partners, innovators and decision-makers who want a better understanding of how to work with - not against - complex systems, and how to move from linear interventions to more sustainable, systemic change.
