Big Bets: how large-scale change really happens
Join Ford Foundation president Darren Walker for an inspiring conversation with Rajiv Shah, president of The Rockefeller Foundation, as he introduces his new book, Big Bets, a memoir and playbook on the bold bets that lead us to transformational change.
Part career sweeping memoir, part inspirational playbook, Big Bets offers a master class in decision-making, leadership, and changing the world one bet at a time.
A big bets philosophy is the idea that seeking to solve problems rather than make incremental improvements can attract the unlikely partners with the power and know-how to achieve transformational change.
Rajiv Shah is no stranger to pulling off the impossible, from helping vaccinate 900 million children at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to a high-pressure race against the clock to stop the spread of Ebola while at USAID. Find out more at this event taking place in Washington DC and online.
