Series of Global Online Conferences on Learning and Teaching Public Innovation and Entrepreneurship, organized in cooperation with The GovLab NYC, since summer 2018 Learning Public Innovation - What's Next Followup
During the States of Change Learning Festival in June 2020, we explored how the Covid19 pandemic disrupted the practice of public innovation learning. The upcoming online conference will continue this exchange and follow up on specific questions that address the “next practice” of our profession.
Wednesday, August 19th, 2020 8:30am EST / 2:30pm CEST / 10:30pm AEST Please register here. Again, this is a small session designed for those working in innovation learning and capacity building. We aim to promote dialogue and peer exchange and thus are asking for registration, so we can keep the group at the right size and focus. Feel free to extend the invitation to relevant colleagues. Looking forward to seeing you! The future of innovation learning
The Covid19 pandemic is the latest disruption to the practice of public innovation learning, which was already in the process of transition into new formats and modalities.
This session explores what these look like, what considerations the pandemic forces upon us, and what the “next practice” of innovation learning will look like. This is a small session designed for those working in innovation learning and capacity building. We want to promote dialogue and peer exchange and thus are asking for expressions of interest so we can keep the group at the right size. We hope you understand. And we look forward to having many more conversations with you all after this. For the session, we have a number of presenters including:

On October 17th 2018, the GovLab and Politics for Tomorrow convened a global expert exchange focussing on measurement and evaluation. The discussion was led with an input by Lene Krogh Jeppesen from the Danish Center of Public Innovation.
The main takeaway from the online conference on measurement and evaluation was to differentiate “numbers“ and “judgement“ more clearly. Many participants were interested in how to combine innovation processes with an adequate evaluation practice as soon as starting an innovation project. Furthermore it became obvious that developing evaluation skills should be part of innovation training to better understand and show the impact of our work.
A summary of the conversation and the silde presentation of Lene Krogh Jeppesen can be downloaded below.
The next online conference is scheduled for January 16th, 2019 and will focus on incentives for public innovation learning.
If you are engaged in public innovation learning or public entrepreneurship training in and with governments and would like to participate, please email: info@thegovlab.org or hello@politicsfortomorrow.de
Hosted by Professor Beth Noveck, Director of the GovLab in the U.S, and Caroline Paulick-Thiel, Director of Politics for Tomorrow in Germany, the online conferences bring together experienced experts who are all currently working on facilitating or teaching innovation processes in the public sector, either on a city-level, national, or global scale. The purpose of these meetings to spark mutual inspiration and learning by convening a quarterly expert exchange, operating under the Chatham House Rule.

On July 12th 2018, the GovLab and Politics for Tomorrow convened a global online conference, which marked the first in a series of now-quarterly online meetings. The purpose of these conferences is to examine the current state of public innovation training.
Hosted by Professor Beth Noveck, Director of the GovLab in the U.S, and Caroline Paulick-Thiel, Director of Politics for Tomorrow in Germany, the online conference brought together the following participants:
The participants comprised leaders and innovators who are all currently working on teaching those in the public sector to innovate on a city-level, national, or global scale. They all employ a range of methods including, but not limited to: human-centered design, predictive analytics, ethnographic research, experimentation, foresight, agile technology or behavioral economics. As part of their approach, these experts are also involved in researching methodologies on innovation, identifying transformation competencies and promoting related skills.
Participants agreed that it is crucial to improve the content and quality of programs that teach public servants to be innovators, especially such skills as human-centered design, as innovation spreads to all working levels within political-administrative organizations. Furthermore, measuring the impact of training on the ability to solve problems more effectively is key. This is especially important in relatively new fields such as public service design, where the conditions for measuring impact differ from those in the private sector and little research capacity is designated to evaluating its mid- and long-term consequences.
Another key takeaway from the discussion was considering the need for co-creative strategies to be added to the pre-existing curriculum of design, public policy, political science or law courses. There was also the suggestion of building public interest design competencies in dedicated programs to encourage more young people and students to become involved. Besides those in secondary education, it is important to get ordinary citizens to participate in public problem solving. This would enable a range of contributions from people with diverse backgrounds in different disciplines and greatly add to the conversation.
Moving forward, the dialogue will continue with an eye toward bringing more and more diverse people using differing approaches into the discussion for peer to peer learning and support. The next topics to be considered are how to set milestones to measure progress during public problem solving processes, as well as identifying the incentives needed in order to motivate more citizens, governments, and institutions to participate in impact-oriented public innovation and the design field in general.
