Opportunities for mastering 100-Day Challenges
Opportunities for Mastering 100-Day Challenges
Leaders can use 30-Day Projects and 100-Day Challenges to inspire innovation and collaboration and to make progress on issues that go beyond gender-based violence in your organisation. The notes below provide some examples of these.
You can invest in building your own capabilities to support leaders in doing this work. After the examples below, we provide ways you can do that.
Government agencies have used this approach to improve service delivery and to accelerate progress towards long term visions and goals. The Government Accelerators Program of the UAE, for example, has 100-Day Challenges as its core philosophy and approach.
Non-profit organisations have used 100-Day Challenges to jump-start and accelerate progress on their programs. This was done in a variety of sectors and countries, including homelessness in the US, health care in the UK, and education in Lebanon.
Private sector corporations have used 100-Day Challenges to experiment with new ways to increase revenue, reduce costs, develop new products, and acquire new customer segments. Perhaps the most dramatic example of this took place in an insurance company in the US, where a highly profitable $3 billion new business line was built from the ground up, using 100-Day Challenges.
The video below describes the third domain: how 100-Day Challenges projects got integrated into the strategy and operational planning cycle of a global insurance company.
The World of Impact team has been at the core of all the examples mentioned above. There are WOI training programs especially tailored to support leaders interested in adopting and adapting the 100-Day Challenge approach to strengthen the culture of collaboration, innovation, and execution in their organisations.

One way to skill up is to become a Sponsor for Ending GBVF 100-Day Challenges. These are hosted by our Convening partners: courts; municipalities, and TVETs. If you are interested, you can work with them in your district to help them sign up to organise a 100-Day Challenge. Your experience as a 30-Day Project Coach would make you an ideal candidate for skilling up as a 100-Day Challenge Coach, supporting leaders and teams working on these 100-Day Challenges.
Find out more about upcoming cycles of 100-Day Challenges on the End GBVF Movement website – www.endinggbvf.org. Becoming a 100-Day Challenge Ambassador involves a more extensive training program, including face to face sessions, and it is offers the possibility of getting certified by North-West University.
