Description
The federal government has access to a vast repertoire of innovation tools and approaches that can support decision-making, the design and delivery of programs, and the monitoring of results.
This first event in the Government of the Future Series will explore some of these tools and approaches, including the use of behavioural insights, human-centred design and design thinking, to better understand some of the barriers and prospects that impact innovation in the federal workplace.
Participants will learn how these innovation tools and approaches have been used successfully, discover solutions to challenges encountered when applying them, and understand how promising insights can be scaled-up to help better design, deliver and assess government policies and services.
