WELCOME

TO THE 2016 GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FORUM

The Leadership, Learning and Innovation (LLI) and the Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions (EFI) vice-

presidencies are pleased to welcome you to the 2016 Global Leadership Forum at the World Bank Group (WBG)

headquarters in Washington, D.C. The Forum is the main event of the Global Partnership on Collaborative Leadership

for Development (GPCL4D) that puts Leadership and Coalitions at the center of international development practices.

During the next two and half days, we will discuss, examine, and share our collective insights around the practice

of collaborative leadership. We are delighted to host over 200 representatives from the Partnership, governments,

private enterprises, research institutions, civil society, WBG staff and other international development actors who

have convened at the Forum to address the increasingly important role leadership and coalitions play in promoting

development solutions.

Often, the work of leadership is to mobilize diverse stakeholders and galvanize their energies towards a common

goal. In the development context, this means taking on complex challenges that requires more than a purely technical

or financial fix and involves changing the mindsets and behaviors of multiple stakeholders. It also requires a careful

navigation of the political economy of reform landscapes.

Our theme, “Putting Leadership and Coalitions at the Center of Development” recognizes that in order to achieve

the World Bank Group’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity, as well as the

Sustainable Development Goals, it is essential that our endeavors be collaborative. We must pool our knowledge and

efforts in areas such as supporting leadership in developing countries.

The 2016 Forum builds on the important Leadership and Coalition Building work begun by the World Bank Group in

2007 with the Leadership Matters event and in 2008 with the Leadership Round Table, and continues under the LLI

and EFI vice-presidencies.

We anticipate a dynamic exchange of ideas and knowledge and welcome your participation.

THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP ON COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT

We recognize that the frontier in leading change for development lies in building the collective capacity of change

agents and citizens to come together, overcome obstacles that block reform efforts, and achieve tangible results.

While there is emerging consensus on the need to put leadership and coalitions at the center of the development

agenda, a number of challenges remain.

First, the wealth of knowledge is dispersed and remains fragmented among leadership and change management

practitioners and experts, and is difficult to access in real time. Second, the fragmented, disconnected agendas among actors hampers the possibility for effective coordination in coming up with solutions to development

challenges. Third, many development organizations lack the necessary instruments to integrate knowledge

sharing tools into their financial and technical support interventions. Finally, inadequate capacity continues to

undermine the integration of these aspects in implementation.

To this end, the Global Partnership on Collaborative Leadership for Development (GPCL4D) seeks to put

leadership and coalitions at the center of development by enhancing the know-how around practical approaches to

find sustainable solutions to complex problems. It brings a vision to become the preferred destination for meaningful

collaboration, knowledge exchange and cutting-edge research on tools and methods to support leadership.

GPCL4D members work voluntarily and collaboratively as part of their own ongoing activities to lead or support

country efforts. The focus is on creating complementarities and synergies that benefit national and global

development initiatives by focusing on four main areas: knowledge, leadership capacity development, operations

support and partnerships.

The 2016 Global Leadership Forum is the leading event of the GPCL4D that seeks to support the exchange of

knowledge and experience among policymakers and practitioners by highlighting the important role Leadership

and Coalitions play in promoting inclusive and sustainable development solutions.

The expected outcomes of the 2016 Forum are: (i) better support for operations in strengthening the capacity

of project implementation teams and managing the political economy of reforms; (ii) an increased awareness of the role of leadership and coalition building in development; (iii) the initiation of coordinated efforts by

partners in the field of Leadership and Coalitions; and finally, (iv) an agreement of GPCL4D Principles to frame the

Partnership’s future efforts.

The Collaborative Leadership for Development Program of the World Bank Group’s Equitable Growth, Finance

and Institutions (EFI) vice presidency will initially serve as the secretariat for the GPCL4D. An advisory board and a

steering committee is being established, including key partner institutions.

Hackathon: Activating Leadership for Results [Preston Hall]

Moderators: Lyndon Rego, Global Director of Leadership Beyond Boundaries, Center for Creative Leadership and Patrick Sweet, Co-Director, Alliance for Advancing Leadership in Peace and Security, Center for Creative Leadership / Geneva Center for Security Policy “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter Drucker

In a fast-paced interactive session, attendees will fuse insights from the conference and their own domain expertise to frame compelling opportunities for action. Using a hackathon methodology, we will rapidly generate and prioritize possibilities and divide into subgroups to shape these ideas into actionable strategies. We will conclude with brief presentations by the sub-teams to offer their work to the collective.

The term hackathon is a fusion of the words hack + marathon and is a process to crack a challenge in a playful collaborative way. The hackathon, created in the tech sector, is now used in companies, communities, and even the White House to rapidly co-create solutions to challenges. The Center for Creative Leadership and Mike Zuckerman of Freespace adapted the hackathon into an innovation sprint to help diverse groups rapidly generate ideas and solutions together. This process generates a large number of ideas, enables the group to collectively identify the most promising ideas (without knowing who originated the idea – the idea stands on its own merit), and allows teams to build out the idea into a concept.
