Financial Innovations Labs tackles funding gaps around a specific economic development issue by holding a microscope to the problem and analyzing it from every angle.
Our Process
The team conducts comprehensive financial R&D, which includes a landscape analysis and review of gating issues, as well as ideation of possible solutions. Key stakeholders are then convened in an intensive all-day working session to share best practices and promote buy-in for new models. The team generates a summary report which facilitates idea implementation and serves as an easy-to-reference shared record. Finally, new ideas generated at the Lab are profiled at other Institute convenings, further magnifying the impact.
