Global Innovation for Impact Lab
Other Projects
- How can organizations build a capacity for productive innovation?
- What can we learn from studying how the best scaling organizations do it?
- Can companies build profitable growth markets that also work for the poor and how?
- How can for-profit and not-for-profit elements be combined into an effective business model?
These and other questions were posed to us by prominent funders and implementers desperate for answers. GIIL operates from the belief that useful research starts by listening to the challenges that organizations face in their work. Our conversations have shaped our research journey and have created a broad body of knowledge. We share some of this work here.
The following are recent publications on other projects by GIIL.
