Solve challenge design workshops are a unique opportunity for like-minded organizations to co-host sessions with 30-80 industry experts, entrepreneurs, and those passionate about social impact innovation to inform Solve’s future challenges. Challenge design workshop attendees work together in subgroups of 8-10 to workshop specific questions around Solve’s four pillars: education, health, climate and sustainability, and economic prosperity.

These sessions aim to fulfill the following objectives:

Inform upcoming challenges to be launched on Solve’s open innovation platform
Convene cross-sector leaders around Solve’s mission and give them the opportunity to be a part of the Solve community
Establish a global network of strategists that will continue to unite around Solve’s challenges and open innovation methodology

Challenge design workshops are 90 minutes-2 hours long and led by experienced facilitators who provide the groups with a series of prompts around Solve’s pillars using human-centered design methodology. Table facilitators guide each subgroup through 4 phases: framing (15-30 minutes) brainstorming (30 minutes), refining (30-45 minutes), and reporting back (15 minutes).
