The Driving Business Innovation Program supports SMEs to develop technology that meets specified needs of Victorian Government agencies. It focuses on commercial outcomes as well as technical success.
OECD GOV Observatory for Public Sector Innovationadamlerouge
The document discusses public sector innovation and the Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) at the OECD. It notes that public sector innovation is important due to constrained resources, greater demands and expectations, demographic challenges, and complex social issues. OPSI aims to inspire, share, and promote public sector innovations through an online database of case studies from different countries. The database covers innovations in areas like program funding, open government, human resources, and service delivery. OPSI also conducts research on frameworks to enable innovation through areas like structure, risk management, and human resources. Its next steps include expanding the database, developing an interactive online platform, and conducting research on measuring the costs and benefits of innovations.
Presentation of innovation culture development programPiotr Nowak
The document outlines an innovation culture development program at the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing. It describes the program's working, learning, and project spaces which are used for workshops, discussions, and development activities focused on design thinking, problem solving, and innovation. These include techniques like creative coffee, inspiring movies, a pocket library, and tools/templates. The program has seen success and plans to expand participation, train more employees as trainers, and start new research in design for logistics.
Open innovation in the public sector is needed for three main reasons: 1) to address increasing diversity of services and decreasing budgets while reinventing cities, 2) to develop a framework using seven mechanisms, one enabler, and two objectives to foster innovation ecosystems, and 3) to leverage resources for growth rather than regulate, by co-developing with users and communities rather than developing in-house. Urban labs and sharing data can spur unexpected civic apps and results by involving citizens in public transportation.
Landgate is Western Australia's land and property information authority that launched an Innovation Program in 2008 to identify new efficiencies and ways of improving service delivery. The program is funded at $2 million annually and involves staff champions, timely execution of ideas, and recognition of both successes and failures. So far the program has discussed over 3,200 ideas, generated 100,000 forum hits, funded over 40 projects, identified $800k in new revenue and significant efficiencies, and engaged 85% of staff in creative thinking. Lessons learned include the importance of direction, capitalizing on intellectual property, risk-taking, and celebrating innovation.
I propose an option for facilitating STEM programming differently to bring out innovation and creativity, but still meet rigorous science and math academic standards, as STEM programs were intended to accomplish.
