Vicki Sellick (née Savage) is a Programme Leader leading our advisory work. She specialises in government innovation.

Vicki's current projects include analysis for the Rockefeller Foundation, USA, on what makes innovation flourish in the public sector, working with more than 30 UK local authorities to develop innovations which help people age well and advice for a number of institutions on how civil society can help deliver social change.

Over the past five years Vicki's work at the Young Foundation has spanned a range of topics from teenage pregnancy to worklessness, and chaotic families to community cohesion. She has worked with an equally diverse groups of clients, from community groups to local government and government departments in the UK, USA and Australia. The common thread is the method - using new insights into the most challenging and entrenched issues to help local areas develop radical new alternatives for public service delivery.

Vicki is a skilled facilitator and speaks regularly at conferences. As well as numerous research reports, she has authored a series of toolkits for local government and the Department of Communities and Local Government.

Before joining the Young Foundation Vicki worked in regeneration at Sheffield City Council and in policy and representation at the University of Sheffield.
