Who are we?
We are a not for profit social enterprise with a strong track record built up over eight years of supporting innovation in the third sector, education and children's services, and local government.
We have an experienced team of Partners and Senior Associates committed to advancing practice and improving outcomes in public services. They have a range of experiences as frontline workers, leaders, consultants, researchers and policy makers.
What do we do?

Enable leaders to build the capacity for innovation in their organisations.
Broker innovation from other people's work - connecting solutions from one place with social challenges in another.
Facilitate collaboration between organisations trying to innovate.
Research and learn about innovation in public services.
Seek to influence policy on public services.
How do we work?
We work in partnership with our clients from the public, private and third sectors. Together, we co-design solutions that combine knowledge of the problem, an understanding of the context and experience of making innovation happen.
