Setting the Foundations #2 - Pushing the Boundaries of Public Sector Innovation

The public sector is being called to work more ambitiously, systemically, and respectfully on the most urgent and complex social and ecological challenges of our time.
Our goal with this CoP is to explore the radical and transformative edges of strategy and practice in PSI units and labs in relation to moving toward ecological and/or social justice, in all of its many forms. We are seeking practitioners who are currently working within or directly alongside a public sector organization in an innovation capacity to join this CoP. Together we will explore, experiment, reflect, and learn about pushing the boundaries of PSI, and share our insights and experiences with other practitioners and applied researchers beyond this CoP.
