Yannick Du Pont: Building and Sustaining Trust in Partnerships
Channel: Impact17
Date: 2022-04-22

Yannick Du Pont, CEO at SPARK tells Impact17 why partnering is so important for addressing the world's greatest problems.

"By really sharing different viewpoints on the same problem or different ways to formulate a solution to problems from different cultural worlds, I think you get to a better answer."

"Building programs that are really multi-stakeholder, you can get so much more out of it in different senses. So if you basically come together based on mutual objectives, and you work together, you will accomplish I think two things. The first is actually, I think, a more sophisticated understanding of the problems you're trying to tackle and the solutions you're designing. The second is that you get far more trust and acceptance."  

This interview is part of the Impact17 Partnering Perspectives series.
