Ep. 25: How do we catalyze change for public good? A conversation with Claire Buré

We live in an incredibly complex world and there are a group of people who are developing a process called Labs. Labs are an approach to solving complex public challenges. These labs are taking an intentional approach to addressing societies most complex challenges. I have interviewed a number of people who fall into the category of working in the labs.
In this podcast I interview Claire Bure from MaRS Solutions Lab. MaRs Solutions Lab is a public and social innovation lab that helps to solve complex social and economic challenges. The lab brings together stakeholders from across society to help solve these problems collaboratively. They help governments to modernize their policies, to find new insights and work collaboratively, in order to equip people and organizations with tools and techniques to create change.
