ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR PUBLIC IMPACT
At the Centre for Public Impact, we believe in the potential of government to bring about better outcomes for people. Yet, we have found that the systems, structures, and processes of government today are often not set up to respond to the complex challenges we face as a society. That’s why we have an emerging vision to reimagine government so that it works for everyone.
A global not-for-profit organisation founded by the Boston Consulting Group, we work in partnership with governments, philanthropy, civil society and communities to challenge the status quo, shift mindsets, and bridge the gap between people and those in power.
CPI currently operates in four regions of the world, all stewarding CPI’s mission in different geographies: Asia, Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand, Europe, and North America. We are all supported by our Global Hub team, who provide leadership and partnership in relation to finance and operations, people and culture, and communications to our regional teams at CPI.

Curiosity - We champion exploration and creativity.
-
Courage - We are authentic and brave in our decisions and actions.
-
Collaboration - We share power and work together.

We challenge traditional hierarchies, adopt a strengths-based approach, and prioritize mutual support. As a team, we care deeply about each other and the work we do, and together we aim to foster a culture of collaboration and respect.
