The Nudge Institute 361d ago

What does a product role look like in the development sector? It’s a question that doesn’t come up often, but one that’s becoming increasingly relevant as social impact work evolves. At The/Nudge Institute, product roles bring together first principles thinking, systems design, and field insights to build solutions that are practical, adaptable, and grounded in empathy. These solutions are designed to work in diverse contexts, across rural and underserved communities, and at scale. Join Priyanka Sahay (Director, EIP - Product, Livelihood Programs) and Shruti Soumya (Associate Director, People & Culture) as they discuss what it means to design and lead products in the social sector, and what it takes to do this well. What to expect: - An introduction to The/Nudge’s approach to product-thinking - Skills and mindsets that help in this role and how they differ from the private sector - Reflections on building for scale while staying deeply contextual - Insights for those considering a shift into this space
