Interested in *beautiful* stories of systems change? The 1st Societal Muse from Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies has them! Featuring insights from my friend Sharmi Surianarain on unemployment/skilling in South Africa & the brilliant Khushboo Awasthi on school leadership in India. As RNP writes, "These are stories of change, of reimagination, of thinking audacious, of betting big." Read it here: https://lnkd.in/d95QEgg8 My fave quote from Sharmi's piece: "Don’t scale products or solutions—build ECOSYSTEMS. Most organisations and funders tend to want to scale their solutions. With a multi-dimensional and moving problem like youth unemployment, falling in love with your own solutions creates the risk that you will stop following the problem and instead become another institutional interest in the system. Durable impact means taking a systems lens to solve ecosystem challenges; in our case, working with a vast and disparate range of partners on everything from advocating to reduce mobile data costs, to prototyping new funding models for training, to advising on sector-specific talent master plans."
