Evaluating a public policy organisation’s innovation capacity
Posted by webmaster 18 December 2007
Here is an interesting case study on the public sector’s capacity to innovate written by the VPS’s own Tony Vickers-Willis, Goran Roos of ICS (well known to many of us within the VPS) and Alan O’Connor of Swinburne’s Aust Graduate School of Entrepreneurship.
The purpose of the case study is to provide some thinking around those elements that support or hinder innovation in the government sector as it faces increased demands for innovative solutions in policy areas.
This is an interesting read given that embedding innovation capacity within the public sector policy making still appears to be a relatively green-field area of opportunity.
The paper also incorporates the findings of an evaluation of an innovation programme conducted in one of our own central departments.
