Tabadlab seeks to understand, interpret and analyze how change happens. It does so by working with businesses, governments, development partners, non-profits, and leaders that want to engage in improved outcomes for people, communities, countries and regions. Tabadlab’s researchers believe that 21st century public policy is formulated at the intersection of evidence (cutting-edge research and data), media and politics. Negotiating better outcomes for all people requires bridging the divides between individuals and groups that operate within an environment that often rewards short-term private interests at the expense of the long-term collective good.

Young people, new technologies, and growing anxieties and fears about a changing world are testing the ability of leaders to forge consensus around evidence-based decisions. Improving outcomes for people, communities, countries and regions therefore requires not only developing the right tools but also framing to be able to communicate and negotiate these important areas of public life. Tabadlab seeks to serve as a laboratory to help develop and deploy tools and language that effect such change.
