This document summarizes a presentation about the Homeless SMS project, which uses basic mobile technology to provide services and support to homeless people. The project started in 2010 in London and has expanded to the Netherlands. It partners with local organizations in Eindhoven to test messaging-based services like appointment reminders and weekly activity updates. Through prototyping and testing different value propositions with homeless youth and staff, the project aims to support reintegration into society and reduce costs associated with homelessness. The presentation concludes with lessons learned about giving people mandate and time for public innovation.

44. Takeaways
for organisation directors, managers, frontline
staff, service users & entrepreneurs
working with them
people involved in
public innovation
45. Innovation cannot be supplied by
consultants. Give your people
mandate and time in innovation.
1. for organisation directors
46. Invite your partners in decision
making processes.
2. for managers and team leaders
47. 3. for frontline staff
Find yourself if you’re early
adopters, followers or last movers.
Adoption is the matter of time.
48. 4. for end users (citizens)
Think about your interests and
what you’re good at. You may be
invited to use them for others.
50. Stay in touch,
Homeless SMS is spinning off.
We’re developing a public innovation
company helping cities recycle proven
and open source solutions.
Thank you.
