Global Community of Practice

An International Community of Leaders Committed to Systemic Change

We believe that leadership is not a solo act — it’s a collective practice. The ALI Global Community of Practice is where that belief comes alive, connecting leaders from around the world who are tackling complex challenges in their communities, institutions, and industries.

Spanning multiple continents and diverse sectors — from climate adaptation in Southeast Asia and healthcare reform in Africa to corporate transformation in Europe and education innovation in the Americas — our Community of Practice is a vibrant space where leadership meets collaboration, and theory meets real-world impact.

Why a Community of Practice?

Complex challenges can’t be solved in isolation. They require learning across boundaries, experimentation in real time, and the courage to challenge the status quo. That’s why ALI created this global network: to offer leaders a trusted space to reflect, test ideas, learn from peers, and co-create solutions that move beyond technical fixes to address root causes and shift systems.

Our community brings together practitioners who are:

• Navigating uncertainty and leading through change

• Building adaptive capacity within organizations

• Mobilizing people to tackle tough, adaptive challenges

• Sharing innovations and lessons across sectors and borders

How the Community Works

The ALI Global Community of Practice isn’t just a passive network — it’s an active engine for learning and change. As a member, you’ll engage in:

• Global Convenings: Regular virtual gatherings where members share insights, case studies, and practical tools.

• Peer Learning Circles: Small, facilitated groups that offer deeper dialogue, peer coaching, and mutual support.

• Collaborative Projects: Opportunities to join cross-border initiatives, working with fellow members to tackle real-world challenges.

• Regional Hubs: Geographic clusters that host localized events and experiments, while staying connected to the global network.

• Resource Sharing: Access to curated toolkits, frameworks, and member-generated content to enrich your practice.

The ALI Difference: A Truly Global and Cross-Sectoral Network

While many leadership networks focus on a single sector or region, ALI’s Community of Practice is intentionally global and cross-disciplinary. We believe that fresh solutions often emerge when leaders from different contexts learn from one another — when a climate adaptation leader in the Philippines exchanges insights with a healthcare innovator in Kenya or a public sector reformer in Brazil.

Our members don’t just share knowledge; they co-create new approaches that can be tested and scaled across contexts, building a global movement for adaptive leadership.
