Joe Ryan: What makes a network work?

Aug 27, 2024

Joe Ryan is the Executive Director of the Crux Alliance. Crux supports six organizations that focus, respectively, on the six major sources of carbon emissions. Their mission is to impact policy in countries across the planet. Joe wrote a great article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review about how robust stakeholder networks accelerate climate progress. We talk about what the qualities of these networks are, and how Crux has adapted OKRs to their specific needs over the past five years. Finally, we touch on the role of strategic foresight and, potentially, artificial intelligence to provide a deeper perspective on where climate work is needed.
