Innovating in the Public Interest: Learning and Pivoting

DateMay 1, 2025, 2:00 PM ET
Duration60-minutes

Just about every cross-sector collaboration project hits a brick wall at some point. What does it take to get past that challenge while staying true to public priorities? We will talk about how strong public-private partnerships adapt, learn, and pivot while keeping long-term goals and public accountability in focus.

 

  • Anticipate and Address Roadblocks – Recognize common challenges in public-private collaborations and develop strategies to navigate them effectively.

  • Adapt to Changing Needs – Learn when and how to pivot initiatives while staying aligned with public-sector goals and community priorities.

  • Strengthen Collaborative Resilience – Develop skills to manage setbacks, rebuild momentum, and sustain cross-sector partnerships over time.
