Decentralizing Power for Increased Ownership and Impact

Melissa Graham Five One Labs

Join Five One Labs at SOCAP for an engaging fireside chat exploring the transformative potential of decentralizing power and decision-making from global headquarters to country-level teams. In this thought-provoking session, we will delve into the ways in which reshaping traditional models can foster greater equity, inclusion, and impact within organizations. We will share the lessons learned and best practices from our global and Colombia team leads.

At the heart of the discussion lies a critical examination of power dynamics within organizational structures. Too often, centralized decision-making at headquarters can inadvertently marginalize voices from local teams, hindering innovation and limiting the reach of impact initiatives. By decentralizing power and empowering country-level teams, organizations can tap into diverse perspectives, local knowledge, and cultural insights, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes.
