Description

How do we build and leverage an innovation culture for the future with increasing operational demands, resource constraints, and shifting risk appetites? Learn how agencies leverage internal resources, their staff’s intellectual curiosity, and partnerships with other agencies and external stakeholders to explore the art of possible.


Key Take-aways

Key Takeaways:
• The true disruption is not about technology but people and work culture. Education, human-centerd design principles, partnerships and collaborations help organizations explore the art of the possible even when resources are scarce.
• Without workforce buy-in, adoption of innovation is often slow or non-existent.

Learning Objectives

Examine ways agencies leverage their greatest asset — their people — to imagine what’s possible, identify problems and trends, and seek solutions internally and externally. Find out how agencies are participating in opportunities to learn, share and improve ideas, findings and products to maximize impact and expand solutions to other cases.
