"The Lab provides the freedom, flexible capital and expertise to undertake radical experiments. It tests out new ways of finding and spreading the best ideas - this might be by running a challenge prize, building a social ventures incubator, or creating powerful new teams of users, front-line staff and decision-makers."
THE LAB has three main part:
- challenge lab: explores how innovation can help services respond to critical social and economic issues, starting with ageing, climate change and health;
- methods lab:puts radical thinking into action and is where we test and assess the best ways of fostering public service innovation;
- and learning lab: helps you to apply and spread what we learn.
