Conversation theme: innovation craft & lab politics
An increasing number of organisations and teams have been given a mandate to innovate. What most practitioners are learning is that the challenge is less about the uptake of a new method, but developing and applying the craft of public innovation: how to apply innovation approaches in government, and manage the politics and environments in which the new way of working has to be embedded.
Lab Legacies will focus on what ‘innovation craft’ actually entails, and what the practical behaviours and tactics are that make innovation happen in government.
