MosaicLab

MosaicLab is a professional practice specialising in public deliberation. Founded by Kimbra White, Nicole Hunter, and Keith Greaves, it designs and runs deliberative engagement processes: citizens' juries, standing panels, deliberative polls, and citizens' assemblies for government clients across Australia.

Since 2014 MosaicLab has delivered over 40 deliberative engagement processes. They have published a comprehensive guide to facilitating public deliberations, drawing on that experience, and co-developed research on how deliberative democracy can be embedded in decision-making organisations.

Approach

MosaicLab operates at the intersection of theory and practice. They design processes for high-stakes and contested issues — cases where standard consultation would not generate meaningful input — and work with clients to ensure outputs genuinely inform decisions rather than serving as token engagement.

They are also engaged in building the evidence base for deliberation: what conditions make it work, when it is appropriate, and how to embed it as a normal part of institutional decision-making rather than a one-off experiment.
