Accessibility statement
The OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) is committed to making the Innovation Playbook accessible and inclusive. This accessibility statement applies to the Innovation Playbook digital tool.
OPSI aims to ensure that the Innovation Playbook tool is accessible to as many people as possible. This includes making the website text clear and easy to understand, and ensuring that users can:
- translate the app using i.e. google chrome extension
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using just a mouse and on-screen keyboard
Co-creation
The digital version of the Innovation playbook was developed through a series of co-creation sessions driven by the Working Group “Governance of Innovation”. The purpose was to put its potential users at the helm of the design process: the Working Group, which is composed of 20 countries delegates, set a vision, defined the features, steered the direction, and provided constant feedback during the development of this tool.
These countries guidance defined the requirements for the digital version: (i) creating a tool which is visually engaging, playful, and interactive for users; (ii) facilitating cross linkages; (iii) easily updatable and manageable; (iv) export the results of the interaction and/or generate a summary report that users can download; and (v) following web accessibility and usability standards.
These co-creation sessions allowed to gather ideas and insights which informed the tool, as well as tested and validate the successive improvements being adopted from its earliest stages throughout its definitive version (terms of reference, mock-up, first release, final version).
Power-users
The successive versions that were being produced of the digital version were heavily submitted to examination, testing and feedback of power-users, i.g. countries delegates that volunteered to play a specially active role in informing, testing and guiding the ongoing creation of the digital version. The contributions of Luxembourg, Brazil, Sweden, Chile, Colombia and Spain helped to keep the user at the center at all stages of the co-creation process.
Performance metrics
The accessibility of the tool was closely evaluated through two tools, one for scanning accessibility standards, the other the performance of the tool:
