The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to fighting poverty and inequity around the world. To fuel their initiatives, they wanted to investigate the newest, most relevant trends in technology and innovation. On top of that, they seek to continuously expand their network of perspectives, people, and thoughts on that challenges present.
‘How can we look what’s beyond the next hill?’ was the leading question of this program.

Nexxworks designed an unusual learning expedition inviting the group to think and learn together with a brilliant, specifically curated community about the specific collective challenge.
The goal was not to solve the challenge, but to identify pivotal insights and a new way to position it.
Amidst Covid-driven realities and with a group of people located all over the world, the experience was organized fully virtual. Simple yet impactful tooling was used to guide the conversations. Great moderation, music, visualization, storytelling, scribing, … enhanced the learning process.
Over 6 months, the program had three phases:
- Grounding the community and the question
- Learn and explore together what could impact the question (exploration)
- Thinking experience to reframe the program and imagine different directions.
