The Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking at Tulane University operates within the higher education sector. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was founded in 2014 to advance social impact through resources and facilitation that prioritize people-centered approaches and systemic thinking. It coordinates joint initiatives and hands-on programs to build design-thinking capacity for organizations pursuing meaningful community impact. Its work targets organizations and communities seeking to redesign unjust systems toward ecological sustainability, human dignity, and equity. The center aims to empower communities with knowledge and agency to design and maintain just systems. As part of the university, it emphasizes partnerships and programs rather than product offerings, supported by a small-to-mid-sized team.
