The Future of Organising and Governing Social Innovation for a Fragmented World

​Session Partner

• ​How can organisational design and novel cross-sectoral organisational forms help bridge fragmentation and create sustainable value?

• ​How can blending non-profit and for-profit elements support scale and financial resilience? 

​In collaboration with: INSEAD

​As geopolitical fragmentation intensifies and institutional trust erodes, traditional models of coordination and governance are under growing strain. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2025 highlights how conflict, geoeconomic rivalry, and weakened multilateralism are reshaping the global landscape, challenging organizations’ ability to deliver inclusive and sustainable progress.

​Hosted by INSEAD as part of Social Innovation House Day at WEF 2026, this session explores how organizational design, cross-sector collaboration, and adaptive governance can bridge fragmentation, enable scale, and build financial resilience. The discussion also examines the role of informal, trust-based mechanisms, such as networks and relationships, in sustaining impact where formal institutions fall short, positioning social innovation as a core driver of a wellbeing economy.

​If you are working to scale social innovation amid geopolitical uncertainty, join this session to explore new models of organizing and governing for impact. Engage with practitioners rethinking collaboration, trust, and resilience in a disrupted global context.
