Thank you for joining us for the SIGNAL: Fostering the Emergence of System Leadership Worldwide session, part of the Skoll 2020 Virtual Forum.

We’re inspired by the interest and momentum in exploring together how we might support people doing systems change work around the world. SIGNAL is a step toward gaining actionable insight into what these diverse folks need to deepen, quicken, and sustain their work on our most complex challenges.

Would you like to get involved in SIGNAL? Please let us know. As we shared in the session, SIGNAL is a collaborative research initiative and as we advance the project, we want to connect more and more partners into the learning, sharing, and action.
