Enhancement Oriented Innovation Workshop | OECD OPSI Webinar | 11 May 2021
Channel: OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation
Date: 2021-05-13

Co-hosted by the Austrian government and supported by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Programme, this workshop focused on enhancement-oriented innovation, one of the four facets of OPSI's public sector innovation facets model. Enhancement-oriented innovation starts with the question "how may we do X better?" and focuses broadly on upgrading practices, achieving efficiencies and better results, and building on existing structures rather than challenging the status quo. 


The workshop brought together government practitioners and policy makers from around the world and included innovation case studies presentations from Austria, Portugal, and Australia. Participants discussed their own experiences with enhancement-oriented innovations, the main challenges faced when trying to implement them, and the key tools and methods used to overcome these challenges.
