About our organization:
Recently, the Brookfield Institute and the Leadership Lab made a decision to merge as one organization at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).
This is in response to a shared mission to put leading policy research into action and to develop new leaders and solutions to help Canada thrive in a digital society. As one institute, we will continue to be a trusted partner of public purpose institutions and an authoritative voice in public policy conversations, providing timely and actionable research-based insights, and well-trained change-makers—building on the legacies of the Brookfield Institute and the Leadership Lab.
