"The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.” – Alan Alda

Creating a 21st century government or non-profit organization that is entrepreneurial, customer and outcome focused and a great place to work is our challenge and commitment. Critical to making this transition is being able to imagine new ways of doing business and being willing to set aside assumptions and take risks to create what really works and is a good value for the tax dollar.

PSG has promoted creativity and innovation since its inception and has developed ways to help people arrive at breakthrough ideas and new solutions to problems that are imaginative and useful. Design Labs are one tool we have used successfully for over nineteen years.

Please explore this site to get more information about Design Labs, the Design Lab process, Design Lab examples, Design Lab experiences, and Innovation workshops. We have also provided a “gateway” to information and bibliography about innovation and creative problem-solving to stimulate your thinking.

“The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.”
