Working with government to embrace complexity, relationships, and learning.
Our team is based in multiple cities across this place currently known as Australia. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
For us, this means we strive to work in respectful, equitable, and ethical ways that help us be in good relation with each other, the places we work in, and the people we work with.
We explore big ideas and offer practical tips for reimagining government. We do this by acting as a learning partner, supporting those we work with to:
We believe that to do things differently we need to interrogate our ways of knowing and being.
That is why we use creative activities and design techniques to create opportunities for deep reflection, learning, and unlearning. We don’t offer off-the-shelf services. Rather, we work with you to create a learning partnership that is tailored to your specific needs and priorities.
We don’t offer off-the-shelf services. Rather, we work with you to create a learning partnership that is tailored to your specific needs and priorities. We offer four different types of learning partnerships:
We host a global community of practice and free events to bring together practitioners, policy makers and public sector change makers to discuss the issues and topics that matter most to reimagining government.
Our highly immersive and participatory learning journeys create the conditions for people to develop both professionally and personally.
We introduce tools, frameworks and new methods for approaching complex challenges, but also create space for participants to learn with and from each other and develop confidence to solve problems together.
Learning partnerships are longer engagements where we walk alongside teams who are working on a complex challenge, or implementing a complex policy or program.
We support our partners to reflect, learn and improve together, and work to ensure that this learning is informed by a broad range of voices and perspectives.
Action research is about exploring and generating insights around new topics critical to the future of government and democracy. We share our research findings through reports, blogs, webinars and more.
Our research is grounded in action – we learn by engaging diverse voices through listening sessions, sensemaking workshops, and other interactive opportunities.
“Working with CPI was a quantumly different experience to working with other consultants. The time dedicated to discussing how we would work together as partners and the inclusive process throughout resulted in a project which flowed effortlessly, and where we all felt a sense of ownership over and connection to the final product.”
