This session introduces Philadelphia’s multi-pronged approach to institutionalizing innovation in city hall – both by bringing in new skillets and hires, and by investing in existing staff. Tim Wisniewski, Philadelphia’s Chief Data Officer, explains how initiatives like the Municipal Innovation Academy, an Innovation Fund, and a cross-departmental co-working space have helped change the way employees throughout City Hall approach problem-solving and collaboration.
