Innovating in local areas
Slide 20 The Young Foundation 2011
• Bureaucracies averse to risk
• Innovation can be disruptive, change power relations
• Often lack of skills, capital, dedicated processes
• Older models become efficient, mutually adapted, embedded in mindsets
Public sector can innovate but finds it hard
Slide 21 The Young Foundation 2010
“Never waste the opportunities offered by a good crisis” Machiavelli
• Keep your ear close to the ground
• Start small – persuade by example
• Don’t wait for permission or funding or acceptance by big institutions just do it
... but how?
Slide 23 The Young Foundation 2010
… but how?• Lots of good work, but many wasted efforts
• Connections are key – connecting the time, energy and creativity of users, volunteers and community groups with the capacity and strategic networks of the public sector
