COLLABORATION
Insight Labs
Insight Labs was a nonprofit Leitner founded to produce strategic insights into organizations’ core challenges. The format was built on a counterintuitive premise: breakthroughs come not from the most knowledgeable experts, but from talented, creative, generous individuals who have never thought about a problem before.
Over five years, Insight Labs held more than fifty sessions in fifteen cities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Rwanda. More than six hundred thinkers from every background imaginable contributed their time and talents to help governments, institutions, and NGOs take on difficult problems.
Special thanks to Andrew Benedict-Nelson for his role in doing and memorializing this work.
