Public sector innovation
The Public Sector Innovation Unit supports and enables the public sector to innovate.
Its role is to:
- provide help and support for people working in the public sector who would like to access tools and techniques to think (and do) differently;
- offer guidance and support to leaders who want to nurture an innovative culture;
- provide a space for thought leadership and collaboration;
- shine a light on great public sector innovation in practice, including inspired thinking, strong leadership, creating an effective organisation with pioneering procurement.
What does this mean in practice?
Under the banner of ‘Create the space to innovate’ we are delivering and sustaining our commitments set out in the Smarter Government White Paper. We provide to government a package of support made up of three strands:
- Collate, manage and diffuse knowledge about innovation in the public sector;
- Help government departments explore innovative approaches;
- Help to harness thought leadership on innovation.
