Improving the Local Landscape for Innovation (Part 3): Assessment and Implementation: ASSESSMENT TOOL
Abstract
The following was originally published by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government as part of its Occasional Papers Series.
City officials engaged in efforts to improve their local landscapes for innovation in public problem solving should consider three questions:
1)What strategies are we pursuing and how do we know if they are actually working?
2)How do we communicate the value of our efforts to the public and other stakeholders—creating demand for innovation?
3)How can we institutionalize our work to ensure that future administrations will sustain these efforts?
