​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Resources

Alberta CoLab was disbanded in March 2020. This page exists as a historical record.

There's a lot that goes into the working of a small innovation team! If you're interested in learning more about systemic design, strategic foresight, or public sector innovation more broadly, this is a good place to start. Explore our virtual library of resources below - there's a lot out there in the interwebs, so consider this a jumping off point for your ongoing learning and exploration. We've curated what we think are some of the more meaningful, seminal, and accessible resources for you here​.
