State of the Pivot- Adapting Organizational Models for a New Era 2026 #SkollWF

Global aid disruptions are pushing organizations to pivot to sustain their impact. Some pivots are big leaps: merging organizations, creating globally distributed operations, or embedding new technologies. Others are smaller, deliberate steps that strengthen resilience and unlock new possibilities. In this interactive session, leaders will share practical lessons about what has worked, what hasn’t, and what insights are emerging. Together, we’ll explore how today’s pivots—both bold leaps and small steps—are shaping the future of the impact field and the approaches we can adopt to drive transformative change.
