How we work

We use data, technology, human-centered design, peer city insights, and private-sector partnerships to deliver on the Mayor’s priorities. We start by understanding the problem and user pain-points, define clear outcomes, test new ideas, and work directly with City teams to implement and scale what works. We help government move faster and serve residents better by taking smart risks.Learn more.
