Labs

Labs are where the actual work happens. Not presentations, not panels. Working sessions with a specific framework, a defined problem, and a group of practitioners who come prepared to contribute.

Core Labs run on established RW Institute frameworks. You come in knowing the model, and you leave with something usable — a tested approach, a refined tool, a clearer diagnosis. Genome Labs go deeper: longer commitments, original research, field-building work.

Core Labs

Framework-driven working sessions built around specific RW Institute models. Each Core Lab targets a defined skill or application area. You learn by doing, with a facilitator who knows where the friction points are.

  • Single-session format, 2 to 3 hours
  • Pre-reading or brief prep required
  • Small cohorts, capped registration
  • Produces a usable artifact or action plan

Genome Labs

Longer-arc working groups that take on field-level questions. Genome Labs run over multiple sessions and produce original research, frameworks, or tools that don't yet exist. These are for practitioners who want to build the field, not just work in it.

  • Multi-session commitment, 6 to 12 weeks
  • Application-based cohort selection
  • Original research and field-building output
  • Published findings shared with the field
