Synopsis
Leading Public Sector Innovation shows how government agencies can use co-creation to overcome policy making barriers and deliver more value, at lower cost, to citizens and businesses. Through inspiring global case studies and practical examples, the book addresses the key triggers and practices that can bring about public sector innovation. Thoroughly revised and including two new chapters that explore the rise of innovation labs in the public sector and changes in leadership, this book has contributed significantly to a growing innovation agenda. Also incorporating further insight on the character and complexity of public problems, co-production as a model of governance, and a more systemic innovation perspective, this second edition will ensure that Leading Public Sector Innovation will continue to be at the forefront of that agenda.
Synopsis
The second edition of this significant text has been thoroughly revised to take account of the latest literature, case studies and international developments in the field. Drawing on global research and practical examples, Bason illustrates the key triggers and practices of public sector innovation.
Each chapter includes a refined 'how to do it' toolkit, and two new chapters have been added, one which discusses the rise of innovation labs in the public sector, and a practical chapter focused on change leadership, to complement the existing chapter on leadership roles.
The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in public administration, management and policy, as well as managers, project managers and staff in public sector organisations.
