The UNDP Accelerator Labs is the world’s largest and fastest learning network on wicked sustainable development challenges. The Network is composed of 91 Lab teams covering countries and taps into local innovations to create actionable insights and reimagine sustainable development for the 21st century. The Lab is an interesting example of scaling up a network of people embedded in existing institutional contexts, but operating differently from dominant culture, and connecting the people across geographies. Whilst the scale is alluring (91 geographies), the quality and substance of what the team are building is the most interesting part - a mix of central coordination and sensemaking, and decentralised operations and learning culture.
