Existing innovation and funding models will not work to fight the effects of climate change – people cannot rely on top-down global initiatives to save us. One Size Fits None provides both an analysis and a path forward, advocating for collaborative, bottom-up solutions as indispensable for navigating today’s “comorbid” crises effectively. It argues that only by breaking open obstacles to broad-based entrepreneurship, both within and outside of existing organizations, can we break free from fossil fuel dependency and mitigate the spread of grievance culture and deepening global inequality.The book’s aim is to spur discussions and conversations among leaders of governments, businesses, NGOs, and universities about the systemic connections in a set of separate crises we’re all facing. By introducing case studies and real-world alternatives, the authors aim to generate practical experiments that depart from top-down approaches that have been failing to address these crises.One Size Fits None is for everyone asking what’s keeping our institutions from addressing the demand for opportunities to innovate our ways out of the present debacle—and what can be done about it.

One Size Fits None is a must-read for anyone grappling with the systemic breakdowns that seem to define our era—whether it’s crumbling infrastructure, institutions, deepening climate crises, or increasing alienation in customer service. Instead of searching for a single, scalable fix (Go Big or Go Home), the authors challenge us to rethink problem-solving itself: How might we empower a generation hungry to make a change, the way Apple and Microsoft once empowered hundreds of millions through personal computing? What if we empowered local innovators to develop solutions tailored to their communities while learning from each other in real-time? The real challenge, the book argues, is redefining who we believe has the power to innovate. Backed by original research, this book makes a compelling case that such a shift is not only possible but necessary within the decade. A revolution isn't sparked by one person alone, but by countless people experimenting, sharing, and building change together.
