Business has harnessed the innovation processes to great success and
recently there have been chatter in government hallways across the
world regarding implementation of these processes in the public sector.
The main drivers for the change are rooted around the global economic
crunch that the governments are dealing with.
The need to rethink their systems and tackle the root cause through an
innovation process is becoming more and more relevant.

There are plenty of avenues that the governments are beginning to take
to implement the newinnovation processes, across all levels of
government.
They are engaging innovation through policies, departments, and the
creating of innovation Labs that foster the development of need ideas
and have the resources to make an implementation plan.
Just as there is not one solution for every business, all of the different
governments have to develop their own unique innovation platform
that works within their constructs but can still get the job done.

A Lab seems to be the starting block for most governments as they can
easily handle large issues such as unemployment and social assistance
without having the same limitations as a department that is trying to
adopt the new innovation processes.
Labs are great at creating more engagement on all levels and can be
used to tackle a range of problems, in a resource effective manner.
Overall, when the Labs are integrated correctly, they reduce the costs
that have to be spent to do the same task.

There are several things to keep in mind when looking to implement a
small innovation Lab.
By asking your team the following questions you can better define
the role of the innovation Lab, which will ultimately increase its
effectiveness.
Can the lab make the most of its own resources by leveraging all of its
relationships? Can it best serve the needs of the public through co-
creation? Taking the time to outline the purpose and the goals for the
innovation
Lab will help you to make sure that it is operating at maximum capacity.

Governments that are leading the charge for the introduction of the
innovation Labs have been using the opportunity to implement a best
practice approach and build on the best available knowledge, while
they innovate solutions to their own process as well as the larger goals.
The ability to form a new system instead of having to improve systems
that are already well used allows for the Labs to become a lot more
nimble and embrace the faster iterations.

Leveraging the same innovation principles that have succeeded in
business is the best way that governments can stay financially sound
and take care of their citizen’s welfare.
By starting with an innovation Lab they are able to jump start the
process and begin innovating on all aspect of government in the fastest
manner possible.
