The need for cross-sector collaboration

The striking challenges of our time—such as health care, the environment, education, and poverty—are complex, whether on a local, national, or international scale. Yet all too often we approach these issues with piecemeal and even siloed solutions and with efforts (however passionate, intense, and even exhausting) that aren’t sufficient to address the problems at the scale at which they exist. Addressing today’s most pressing challenges requires developing the capacity to lead collaboratively and to effectively work across sectors. (author note)
