CEF at the Frontiers in Leading Change Seminar

The CEF took part in the Frontiers in Leading Change seminar co-hosted and co-organized by WBG’s LLI (Leadership, Learning, Innovation) and the GIZ’s AIZ (Academy for International Cooperation). The aim of a two-day event, taking place on May 27-28, 2015, was to foster joint learning and exchange between country leaders, development practitioners and partners in the field of leading change and systems transformation in international development.

An audience of about 70 participants, including prominent speakers and leading authors on the subject matter, engaged in an open and interactive dialogue on a diverse set of change stories, illustrated the impact of leadership interventions, and held practical panel discussions on experiences with culture change interventions in development organizations.

On the second day, participants dived deeper into the leadership tools and approaches, learned from mutual experience, and contributed to work streams to take the work forward. Thus, several groups for further collaborations after the event were also created.
