How to make innovsations in the public sector

1. Leading public sector innovation Co-creating for a better society Christian Bason, Director, MindLab

4. Co-creating to tackle ”wicked problems”...

10. Four shifts From random innovation to a conscious and systematic approach to public sector renewal From managing human resources to building innovation capacity at all levels of government From running tasks and projects to orchestrating processes of co-creation, creating new solutions with people, not for them From administrating public organisations to courageously leading innovation across and beyond the public sector.

11. A global movement ‘Why innovation?’ -> ‘How innovation?’ Random, ‘luck’ -> Strategic, ‘systematic’ Expert-driven creation –> Co-creation Public sector innovation is becoming a discipline, and co-creation is a key approach...

12. Barriers 1. Paying a price for politics 2. Anti-innovation DNA 3. Fear of divergence 4. Where’s the citizen? 5. An orchestra without a conductor 6. Leading into a vacuum: the 80/20 rule

13. Four C’s: An innovation ecosystem COURAGE (TO LEAD) CONSCIOUSNESS (CREATING A NEW LANGUAGE) CO-CREATION (ORCHESTRATING THE PROCESS) CAPACITY (POWER TO INNOVATE)

15. The dilemma ”Innovation is a terrible word. But there is nothing wrong with its content.” MindLab

16. Innovation defined Implementation Idea Value

17. What is the value of innovation?

23. Managing the innovation portfolio Strategic Challenges SC 1 SC 2 SC 3 Innovation efforts SC 4 High uncertainty SC 5 Medium uncertainty Low uncertainty Short-term < 1 year Daily Weekly Medium-term < 3-5 years Long-term < 10-20 years

24. 3. Co-creation How to run an effective process of innovation? COURAGE (TO LEAD) CONSCIOUSNESS (CREATING A NEW LANGUAGE) CAPACITY (POWER TO INNOVATE) CO-CREATION (ORCHESTRATING THE PROCESS)

26. New mode of knowledge [qualitative, first-hand]

28. CREATING A NEW FUTURE Co-creation workshops Crowdsourcing MANY FEW Quantitative surveys Qualitative research INFORMING ABOUT THE PRESENT STATE Forms of citizen involvement

29. Professional empathy Experiencing what citizens experience
