Upcoming Global Washington Events

In today’s interconnected world, the most pressing global challenges—from climate change to economic inequality—cannot be solved by any single organization working alone. They require collaborative, cross-sector partnerships that leverage diverse expertise, resources, and perspectives. 

Join James Bernard, Co-Founder and CEO of the Global Impact Collective, for an interactive exploration of what makes partnerships truly productive. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across 50+ countries and sectors, James will share practical frameworks for designing and managing successful collaborations that create lasting impact. 

In this session, you’ll learn and discuss: 

• Why partnerships are essential for driving systemic change, scale, and sustainability
• The spectrum of partnership approaches—from joint projects to collective impact initiatives—and when to use each 
• How to navigate the partnership journey, from identifying the right partners to activating and sustaining collaboration 
• The critical success factors that separate effective partnerships from those that stall or fail 
• Real-world examples of partnerships creating shared value for business and society 

Whether you’re exploring your first partnership or strengthening existing collaborations, this session will equip you with proven strategies for building partnerships that deliver sustainable impact.
