Innovating in the public interest

About the Series

 
Innovating in the Public Interest is a six-part workshop series hosted in partnership with the Pi-Squared Initiative, exploring what it takes for public sector innovators to collaborate effectively with private-sector partners.
 
Across the sessions, participants gain practical tools and strategies for identifying collaborators, assessing fit, establishing shared goals, and building partnerships that support impact at scale, including actionable approaches to engaging companies, NGOs, and other organizations to advance mission-aligned outcomes.
 
The series is especially valuable for government professionals working with, or looking to work with, private organizations in areas such as policy, service delivery, or technology adoption.
 
Led by Anita McGahan, Senior Research Scientist at The Burnes Center for Social Change and Director of the
Pi-Squared Initiative.
