We exist to maximise enterprises’ potential, so they can deliver extraordinary impact.
Challenges Worldwide delivers projects and offers support to enterprises so their full potential can be realised allowing them to deliver impact on global challenges. Either directly, or working collaboratively with partners and governments, our focus is to contribute to Agenda 2030, specifically on SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health & Wellbeing), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

The enterprises and people that Challenges Worldwide collaborates with are purpose-led, with a social or environmental impact at their heart. By not performing to their highest potential, it means their impact is diluted.
Because of this, many people might miss out on the benefits of a new healthcare innovation, carbon emissions might never get put back into natural carbon stores, or crop failures could increase levels of malnutrition.
Entrepreneurship takes time, high levels of energy, commitment, and sheer hard work to be successful. No matter what stage of an enterprise’s lifecycle, there can be external forces or internal blind spots which prevent an enterprise from performing to the best of its ability. Although each problem or challenge enterprises experience is different more often than not it is linked to the people running the enterprise; the enterprise itself (e.g., services offered, business plan, strategy); or the ecosystem that the enterprise operates within.
Examples include: People: Leadership teams or key staff members don’t have quite the right mix of skills required. Enterprise: The business model has a critical flaw holding back performance. Ecosystem: A key part of an enterprise’s value chain is intermittent and can’t be relied upon, meaning service delivery is disrupted.
Challenges Worldwide along with our delivery partner The Challenges Group takes a three-dimensional approach to tackling whatever issue or problem may be holding an enterprise back from higher performance, and higher impact. Find out more about this here.
