The Innovation Hub Strategy

Why Innovation Now | The Innovation Hub Strategy | Hub Key Objectives | Public Service Innovation | Transforming Government

The hub's strategy is to support those actively working to remove disincentives and create connections between those in government wanting to align government practices to innovation demand and flow.

The strategy is based on evidence that social and public service innovation is growing. It is the diffusion of innovation across the public system that is slow, and it is the cultural and institutional barriers to public innovation across government that the hub aims to tackle. Growing evidence shows that the path of innovation flow is unpredictable and does not follow a linear course. It also frequently goes unrecognised, hidden in the margins.

  • Leadership and intermediaries play a critical role in the early adoption of innovation.
  • Creating space for innovation and for working offline is critical.
  • Incentives are needed to support innovators and their work.
  • The elimination of disincentives and systemic change are urgently required if the behaviour and processes that inhibit innovation are to be removed.
