Are you passionate about representing, understanding or caring for people who depend on public services and governments working well? Are you looking for a way to make their voice count and to influence how government and their partners think about people in policymaking? If so, you may want to apply to be on our People's Panel.

We are the Centre for Public Impact (CPI); a not-for-profit organisation, established by The Boston Consulting Group, with the aim to improve the positive impact of governments all over the world. To date, we have worked with 50+ governments in over 30 countries, at a city, state and national level, on a plethora of policy challenges. We are an ambitious, growing organisation helping government be more effective so it can have greater positive impact on people's lives.

To help us achieve this aim, we are forming a ‘CPI People's Panel' to help us stay connected to the issues that matter to people both in the UK and internationally. We are therefore seeking individuals living in the UK who can bring a range of perspectives to discussions, either from the UK or from abroad. We want to create a panel of 10 passionate individuals from a variety of backgrounds who would be able to provide input into our work by raising issues that matter to people and are affecting people's lives which government can act upon.

What's in it for you?

  • The chance to raise issues with an influential organisation that has established and growing links with governments worldwide.
  • The opportunity to review and shape CPI's work on a quarterly basis to ensure that we are helping governments to become more connected to people and their needs.
  • The opportunity to build a network with others who care about issues affecting people today and about how government works for them.

What's in it for us?

  • A better understanding of the issues affecting people's lives and the role that government can play to address these.
  • Guidance on our work from those who are working directly with those impacted by government and its policies
  • Connecting with other passionate individuals, who want to help drive change for people everywhere.
