Innovation Team @OCTO
The Mayor's Office of Innovation is now the Innovation Team @OCTO (Office of the Chief Technology Officer). This exciting change enhances our commitment to innovation by combining our team with OCTO's extensive resources, technology expertise, and data-driven approach.
Originally established with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Innovation Team has a proven track record of applying public sector innovation principles to enhance government service delivery. Our core process remains the same: we frame problems, conduct research, brainstorm ideas, create prototypes, test solutions, and measure their impact.
We deeply value our ongoing partnerships with Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University. These collaborations will continue to flourish as we leverage our new position within OCTO.
