The Building Blocks of Innovation: Establishing a Culture of Creativity in Philadelphia City Government
Abstract
As cities face increased financial and structural challenges, government will require a new operating model so that it continues to provide useful services to constituents. To find new ways of innovating with technology, the City of Philadelphia named its first chief innovation officer in 2011 and shortly thereafter established an Innovation Management group within the Office of Innovation and Technology. This group’s primary focus is public technology—finding new ways to make technology relevant and useful for the citizens of Philadelphia.
