I am so humbled to be part of a great team that received the Accenture Public Service Innovation Award last night at the Harvard Innovation Challenge. Our idea, which we call Instiglio, is to help governments in developing countries apply pay-for-success contracts (a k a social impact bonds) to improve service delivery in areas such as HIV/AIDS, youth gang participation, and contract teachers. The mission of Instiglio says it best: to empower societies to discover, adopt, and scale innovative solutions to social problems.
