People

A small collaboration with a deliberately open edge.

Public Purpose Lab was founded by Adrian Sutherland and Stephen Boyle to explore public-service problems with enterprise discipline, constructive challenge and inspectable evidence.

Participation is not endorsement

Specialists, organisations and contributors may be invited when they bring relevant domain knowledge, technical scrutiny, access to a testable problem or independent challenge. Participation does not imply endorsement by an employer, charity, NHS body, public authority or other institution.
