This research project focused on knowledge transfer in the public sector, and then within hierarchical and siloed public construction agencies as they relate to creating a culture of innovation. Students worked with the incubation Culture+Data working group to develop a city-wide strategy to enable all city construction agencies to create a culture of innovation. Students helped to develop a training strategy to support increased public construction efficiency and effectiveness. Students developed a collaborative platform that embedded the methodology and model for agencies to use during capital budget planning.
