Global Solution Networks
A Global Solution Network – or GSN – is a new and particularly effective type of global problem-solving organization. The GSN Program was launched to evaluate what makes these networks tick, and to understand their potential to change the world.
The GSN Program’s 3-Part Mission
1. Fill the KNOWLEDGE gap about multi-stakeholder networks and global problem solving.
What is a GSN?
N Addresses a global problem
N Engages diverse stakeholders
N Exploits the digital revolution
N Self-organizes and self-governs

What does the GSN research reveal?
Explore GSN insights from dozens of research reports, case studies, infographics, digests and mindmaps.
2. Put GSN TOOLS in the hands of people working to solve global problems.
The GSN LEARNING EXPERIENCE introduces the GSN model and helps you apply the concepts to your work.
3. CONNECT the networks and the people working to address common global issues.
Topic-specific Hubs help GSNs work together to leverage their effectiveness.
