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.

Our Values

• Curiosity - We champion exploration and creativity.

• Courage - We are authentic and brave in our decisions and actions.

• Collaboration - We share power and work together.

• Empathy - We embrace others’ perspectives and experiences.

• Equity - We disrupt systemic barriers to shift power.

Centre for Public Impact, Europe (CPIE)

Since its founding in August 2020, CPIE has built a rich portfolio of programmes working with public sector organisations, governments, academic institutions, charities and foundations across Europe to explore how we can make government and philanthropy more effective and trusted to work for everyone. We have grown from a team of 7 to a team of  16 and have been expanding our work as a programme delivery organisation working directly with governments, philanthropies and organisations on the ground. 

At CPIE, our culture is founded on the values and principles within our vision for government. So in everything we do we aim to be humble, open, empathetic, authentic, trusting and trustworthy, curious and to champion diversity and inclusion. We continually experiment with ways to embody our values, striving to share power and devolve decision-making to those best placed to make the decision. 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. We are committed to embedding equity and inclusion not only in our programmatic work  but in the very fabric of how we work and relate to one another. 

At CPI Europe, our developing programme areas of strength are in:

• AI and digital transformation 

• Urban transformation 

• Climate action 

• Collective imagination practice

• Public service transformation

Over the next five years we will develop the following thematic areas:

• Creating the conditions for communities to flourish

• Advancing health and a culture of care 

• Envisioning life-affirming futures
