Data-Driven Innovation for the Public Good
This past year has been one of incredible growth and impact at the Possibility Lab. What started just over a year ago with the seed of an idea—to help government work better for more people—has blossomed into a dynamic group of data-driven optimists working to foster new ways of thinking and doing. We are proud of our unique approach to problem-solving and the progress we have helped catalyze with our partners in such a short time.
Through ongoing collaborations, we are exploring creative ways to bring both data and community expertise into public policy decision-making. You will see in this report how we are actualizing these goals every day, through sustained partnerships with state and local governments, community-based organizations, and diverse residents.
