About CPI and the innovation track of the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative
CPI partnered with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Harvard University to design and manage the innovation track of the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, where interdisciplinary city teams build innovation capabilities as they design, test, and prototype solutions to a pressing city problem.
About the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative
The Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative advances leadership, management, and innovation in cities.
Within the Initiative, CPI supports the innovation track, which helps cities adopt cutting-edge innovation techniques that engage residents in testing, adapting, and scaling ideas with the potential for long-term impact. Participating cities receive nine months of tailored coaching to learn about design concepts and implement them in their city.
Innovation track impact
Participating in the Center for Public Impact [Innovation Training] course taught me to think outside of the box in all aspects of my life, both professional and personal. My work is centered around engaging with and supporting our Providence communities, and I look forward to the new ways we'll be able to serve individuals through these innovations.
