The SHIFT

From Intention to Impact

11 events39 speakers

Join our global network of changemakers working at the root causes of today’s most complex challenges — not just their visible symptoms.

Inspired by Donella Meadows’ 12 Leverage Points, we identify, map and connect those who redesign rules, shift mindsets, redefine goals and, where needed, challenge underlying paradigms.

Together, we form a living atlas of system-level interventions — demonstrating that when efforts align at the right leverage points, change accelerates and compounds.

At Davos, we will show how 50 changemakers are already activating these leverage points in the real world.

We will demonstrate that meaningful system change is possible in just 100 focused hours — and share the methodology that makes it work.

By 2027, participants will be able to launch their own System Shifters Chapters — extending this approach across sectors, cities and systems worldwide.
