What We Do

We run applied community research projects to bring awareness to novel practices that can influence change in government; gather evidence on the realities of policy practitioners in the GC, provide resources and advice to expand the policy capacity in the GC; advocate for supports to community needs; and organize a range of community events — some are targeted, and some are open to anyone to connect and share experiences.  

As our community expands across policy roles, and across the GC, our research capacity grows improving connections and supports for policy practitioners.  

Our Vision  

An inclusive, adaptable, and united policy community equipped to deliver policy development and policy implementation excellence – now and in the future.

Our Mission

Serve the GC Policy Community as a catalyst for knowledge exchange and reflection. We will support policy practitioner development and will facilitate learning experiences using novel approaches to produce practical solutions that elevate policymaking practice in the GC.

Our Values

	.		.
Community-centric We believe in serving our community. All projects and processes are anchored in empathy and community perspectives across multiple departments and agencies and across policy roles — from policy development to implementation.		Inclusive We welcome all. This community is for anyone doing — or interested in —   policy and program operations. We provide a range of accessible, respectful, safe and non-judgmental knowledge exchange opportunities.		Agile We are open to change. We continuously improve our engagements and products based on community feedback received through our portfolio of projects.
Digital First We seek to remove barriers to participation. We respond to continuous change with a digital infrastructure and community experience mindset to simplify processes, improve engagement, and share knowledge.		Experiential Learning We build capacity through community development. We learn from each other and compare possibilities to generate new data about what works and what doesn’t, allowing all to grow together.		Multi-disciplinary We model diversity of thought. In our team composition and project portfolio, we proactively combine several professional experiences and specializations in and out of government, policy skills, emergent/future skills, and a range of cultural backgrounds.
