What we do
We work with governments to help them understand and approach innovation better, though:
- Highlighting and analysing major trends in public sector innovation
- Evaluating how government systems are set up to support innovation
- Engaging public servants at all levels on the different phases of innovation and delineating skills and tools useful to navigating each
- Sharing practice and case studies of innovation at all levels of government
How we help
Cumulatively, our research, advisory services, case studies and toolkits give leaders, managers and practitioners a clear picture of what public sector innovation is and how government can start or accelerate it.
