Launched in 2012, CivicLab is a unique nonprofit institute, founded to leverage the lessons of community collaboration learned and fine-tuned over many decades in Columbus, Indiana.  Led by J. Irwin Miller Cummins CEO, arts patron, industrialist and civil rights activist, the Columbus community became a leader in creating unique public-private partnerships and CivicLab seeks to spread the model to other communities, using what has become internationally known as ‘The Columbus Way.’

In this podcast Jack Hess, Co-Founder and Executive Director of CivicLab, and Dakota Pawlicki, Director of Talent Hubs talk about their unique approach to addressing community challenges by creating tools for community teams.
