The $2.90 Principle: Fixing Systems Before They Break

Most systems do not collapse – they quietly fail through small, preventable breakdowns that compound over time. The $2.90 Principle reframes how we think about scale by focusing on the overlooked, low-cost interventions that unlock disproportionate impact. Drawing from real-world implementation across healthcare systems, the Navajo Nation, rural India, and humanitarian corridors in Gaza and Ukraine, this session shows how small, intentional actions can prevent loss, expand access, and reshape outcomes. Participants will identify high-leverage moments within their own work and design interventions that are simple, testable, and immediately actionable.
