Practice Foundations is a monthly public sector community of practice hosted online by The Auckland Co-Design Lab and Healthy Families Far North.

Practice Foundations focuses on the opportunities and challenges that exist across the public sector. In our sessions we explore topics, tools and resources that public sector practitioners have told us are the most useful in building practice and tooling them up for implementing complex and ambitious work.
