At the Centre for Public Impact, we believe in the transformative potential of government to improve lives and create better outcomes for all.

That’s why we are committed to reimagining government- working towards systems that truly serve everyone, equitably, and effectively. 

As a not-for-profit organization founded by the Boston Consulting Group, we act as a learning partner for governments, public servants, and a diverse network of change makers. Though we are a small organisation, our global footprint is expansive. We have dedicated and innovative teams in Asia,  Australia/ Aotearoa New Zealand,  Europe and North America. We are all aligned by our  Global Hub operational team who provide people & culture, operational, finance, and communications partnership across the regions.

CPIE was founded in 2020 and our culture is founded on the values and principles within our vision for government. So in everything we do we aim to be humble, open, empathetic, authentic, trusting and trustworthy, curious and to champion diversity and inclusion. We continually experiment with ways to embody our values, striving to share power and devolve decision-making to those best placed to make the decision. We challenge traditional hierarchies, adopt a strengths-based approach, and prioritise mutual support. 

Our Values: 

• Curiosity - We champion exploration and creativity.

• Courage - We are authentic and brave in our decisions and actions.
