Public Innovators Lab
Public Innovators hold a deep understanding of the reality of their community – and at the same time help pave the way for others in the community to build a brighter future. Learn what it takes to re-orient yourself in public life, discover new frameworks for
working on current challenges, and network with a growing body of public innovators.
The Public Innovator Lab was facilitated by Rich Harwood, founder of the
Harwood Institute for Public Innovation.
