government innovation

The challenges we face are more complex than ever. There are no obvious answers to these problems. To address them, we need new governance models and a combination of technological, social, and political solutions.

A new approach to government

To make progress, public sector leaders must embrace a new approach to governance rooted in experimentation, acceptance of failures, and learning.

We believe that all public servants can (and should be) innovators, that progress moves at the speed of trust, and frontline workers and communities have the best understanding of problems and potential solutions.

Committed to supporting public sector innovators

We partner with public sector leaders to innovate with intention, building capabilities, cultures and examples of government innovation that can enable leaders to tackle complex problems.

We have worked with hundreds of local governments, equipping public problem-solvers with core skills, government research, and lessons to support them as they co-create solutions to pressing challenges in partnership with communities.
