Transforming Business as Usual and Advancing Innovation Through Public-Private Partnerships

Changing organizations that deliver public programs is complex and requires commitment throughout an organization and its larger environment. Particularly in human services programs, implementing change requires an upfront investment to understand the program environment, build trust and buy-in with staff at all levels of the organization, and address the programmatic challenges that can prevent changes from taking root. Foundations and other private organizations help programs innovate along the path of change by providing funding and technical assistance.
