Private to Public Innovation


Friday April 20

The Center for American Progress has an interesting take on innovation. Its pretty common to suggest that government work like the private sector but less common to suggest this in terms of innovation. Check out what they have to say. Interesting stuff.
Set up dedicated teams responsible for promoting innovation
Private-sector firms often have a unit or team dedicated to research and development , strategy, or product development. The names of the teams and their precise functions will vary across firms, but they each have one thing in common. They are given the space to think creatively about ways to enhance the firm’s long-term prospects. Public-sector organizations should take similar approach by setting up dedicated teams with responsibility for ensuring that the organization is able to generate and evaluate potentially innovative ideas.
