OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation

📢 Introducing a New Curriculum for Anticipatory Innovation Governance 📢 On October 1st, the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) celebrated the successful conclusion of Project LIMinal, a two-year initiative funded by the European Commission involving Lithuania, Italy, and Malta. In collaboration with countries and the School of International Futures (SOIF), we developed a comprehensive curriculum and guidebook designed to help governments build anticipatory innovation capabilities and strategic foresight practice. 📘✨ Blog and FREE download: https://lnkd.in/efwhkSX7 Why is this important? Governments today face a rapidly changing world where reactive policymaking is no longer enough. Our new curriculum equips policymakers, foresight practitioners, and senior decision-makers with distinct skills to proactively shape the future, navigate uncertainty, and build strategic resilience. 🌍 This guidebook offers: 🧠 Flexible, adaptable learning paths 🔧 Practical tools and modules to help public institutions overcome key challenges, from fostering a culture of experimentation to enhancing strategic foresight. 🤝 Frameworks for building capacity across sectors and organizational levels from practitioners to senior leaders. While the curriculum was developed to address specific needs in Lithuania, Italy, and Malta, it’s designed to be a valuable resource for governments globally. Whether you're looking to enhance resilience against emerging technologies or build strategies to address complex global challenges, this guide provides a menu of options for building capabilities. 📈🛠️ #AnticipatoryGovernance #PublicSectorInnovation #StrategicForesight #FutureReady #GovernmentTransformation #OECD #InnovationLeadership Made possible by the great expert team who worked on the LIMinal project Daniel Bengtsson Jack Orlik Julia Staudt Piret Tõnurist Rodrigo Dal Borgo Josh Polchar Joaquin Collao Jul Trish J Lavery PhD Dexter Docherty Gabriela Coddou Reyes Nanami I.

The OECD Innovation Playbook goes to #Greece! The Greek Department of Innovation and Best Practices (Greek Ministry of Interior- Administrative Reform) took seriously the call to spread the effective use of the playbook. Gathering "innovation champions" from all Greek regions, this session was meant to "train the trainers". These members of the Public Sector Innovation Network will now run by themselves workshops to apply the playbook in their regions, training others to do the same in the future while disseminating the tool across the country. This is the kind of mission orientation that makes public managers and servants to be drivers of change in Government. Very inspiring! Shout out to Christos Kokkalas, Chrysa Chatzivasileiou, Sophia Athanasopoulou and Georgia Kokossi their amazing initiatives for promoting government innovation in Greece. Take a look at their excellent resources: https://innovation.gov.gr/ Stay tuned for the upcoming Greek version.

#Portugal is building a New Generation of Public Services! Last week, we were in Lisbon to kick-off the project "Matrix for Innovation in Public Services", an initiative led by the AMA - Agência para a Modernização Administrativa, IP with the support of the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation. Take a look at the presentation to see the basics of the project. Jorge Lagarto, the Director of LabX – Center for Innovation in the Public Sector, Jorge Lagarto, and the heads of unit Rui Martinho and Patrícia Paralta shared a #purpose-driven vision for the use of innovation in the public services. Thanks to this project, public organisations in Portugal will strengthen their ability to lever innovation to further improve public services that are #humancentred, #accessible, #inclusive, and #proactive. Taking stock of the great initiatives being already promoted by AMA and other public organisations in Portugal to explore synergies, this project adopts #cocreation and #experimentation as central values. Building on strong and constant #collaborations with stakeholders across Government (and beyond!) while engaging in the #prototyping, #testing and #iteration of an usable instrument, a key objective is to support public organisations to use innovation for effectiveness and value-creation.

It was a pleasure to welcome Prof. Donald Moynihan and Prof. Pam Herd today at the OECD - OCDE in Paris! 🙌 💡We had a fascinating conversation about the learning and psychological costs that people face when accessing #public #services and benefits. We also explored ways to improve government-citizen interactions, #CivicTech, #cognitive barriers, and much more. 🌍 Looking forward to continuing these important conversations on how we can reduce #frictions and make public services more accessible for all.
