Creating tangible impact in the world requires focused work. The BMW Foundation is dedicated to addressing concrete challenges that, when solved, create the greatest global impact. For each challenge that we undertake, we set measurable goals and a defined time frame for our work, and we hold ourselves accountable to both. To achieve our desired results, we employ the "Start to Impact" process. In this approach, we carefully select and convene a team of experts who are best positioned to address the specific challenge at hand. Together, we align on the key priorities and commit to a well-defined process for implementing the right solutions.We actively support the collaboration of this expert team through our established process, and carefully manage the timeline and output of their work.
