Gap:
Building critical leadership skills on a global scale exceeds the capacity of any single organization or
consortium. New systems of scalable leadership development approaches must be implemented in order
to make a significant global impact.
GIFSL potential:
1. Develop scalable strategies that allow program delivery to thousands/millions of
individuals around the world.
2. Create ‘viral’ learning approaches that capitalize on peer-to-peer informal learning
networks.
