3. 1) Public policies are usually developed by few people that are not involved in their
implementation (separating policy development and implementation as two different
tasks)
2) Public policy often becomes a quest for clear-cut interventions that idealizes the
theoretical (stability) over practice (changing reality)
3) When policies are considered as failures, they are more likely to be failed by wider
networks of support and validation.

THE PROBLEMS WITH PUBLIC POLICY…
4. Transforming the processes, skills and culture
of government
• Focus on transforming the
way that government
approaches innovation,
• Uses consultancy services and
training, secondments and
placements, to develop skills
and mind-sets
• Educate and provide insights
and knowledge needed to
empower others inside
government to innovate..
Achieving wider policy and systems
change
• Focus on achieving wider policy
and systems change and
bringing about transformation,
• Look beyond specific
interventions
• to the wider policy context and
complex systems that need to
change,
• Architects, creating the designs
and blueprints that others can
follow
Creating solutions to solve specific challenges
• Focus on solving high priority
problems, and developing
usable and scalable solutions,
Collaborate with colleagues in
government agencies.
• Developers and creators of
innovations.
Engaging citizens, non-profits and businesses to find
new ideas
• Focus on opening up
government to voices and ideas
from outside the system,
• Open innovation and challenge-
led approaches
• Strong communications and
engagement strategies.
• Create conditions for
innovations from outside
government to thrive.
• that others can follow
4 types of
5. 1. Theactive involvement of users at all stages of development (co-creation)
2. Multiple partners from public, private, civic sectors
3. Bringing together different disciplines and approaches from design, social
research, policy, technology, etc.
4. A dedicated space (real or virtual) for experimentation and developing new
ideas.

EXPERIMENTS
New role descriptions and professional

New organizational setup for rehabilitation
practice
Co-owned actions plans
Team-structuredfeedback mechanisms
Etc.
23. Focus We assume… But really... Attention point Consequence
Policyand
implementation
Frontline workers donot
understand the policy
There aretoomany
contradicting
strategies and
intentions
Building bottom-
up constituencies
forchange
Implementation as
experimental process:
opportunity tolearn and test
new hypothesis
Theory of change Change is aproduct ofa
specific planned process
Change through a
broadrangeof
activities
Dynamic between
policy andpractice
Multiple parallel experiments/
‘pipelines of intelligence’
Focus in support
system
Rational understanding of
what should be done
Focus on sense-
making andlocal

Creating the right
energy in the
system
Creating amandate forchange
