Over more than a decade, around 100 public innovation labs and teams
have been initiated by local and national governments across the world.
Some of them have just been launched while others have already disap-
peared, and how these labs are initiated and formed can be a key factor in
their success.
The goal of this event is to explore a selection of existing lab approaches to
understand how to build strong and resilient innovation units in the public
sector. The session will also explore strategies, tactics and tips for overco-
ming difficulties and identifying new models for the future.
This event is co-organised La 27e Région (France) and Nesta (UK) as part of
Design for Europe.

A LAB
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Launched in 2011, la Transfo is a «
learning by doing » empowerment
process. It consists of simulating
the prototype of an innovation team
or lab within a volunteer hosting
government.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
During 18 months, a cross-discipli-
nary team provided by la 27e Région
will empower a group of 20
volunteer civil servants provided by
the government with user-centred
methodologies. Together they work
on real challenges of the political
agenda (e.g. Youth policies), that
they tackle step by step by running
real cases (e.g. Youth health).
Progressively they have a better
vision of the future lab or team,
once the experience is over: how it
should work, what kind of gover-
nance it requires, who’s funding it,
etc.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR ?
Four French local government have
benefited from this programme so
far, and la 27e Région plan to run it
with 10 other ones before 2019 -
including the City of Paris, the City of
Mulhouse, the City of Grenoble. La
Transfo follows an « open source »
approach: All the governments
involved in La Transfo are invited to
share knowledge and tips in an «

SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Lab is a national projet
designed to enable french local civil
servants to experiment
management innovations within
their local authorities and provide
feedback to their peers.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A dozen of french local authorities
(Lyon, Nantes, Parisian boroughs,
Aix, etc.) have accepted to try and
experiment innovative solutions to
precise problems they are facing
like budget cuts or decreasing
motivation. A team helps them
define and launch their manage-
ment innovations and they can
benefit from the feedback of a
council of peers. A national event in
december will conclude this first
year of innovation.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR ?
These cities and departments have
chosen very different innovation
paths, from reinventing the annual
performance review or pooling
working hours to help a team face
intense working weeks, to testing
agile project management in software
development. Some are more
advanced than others and this is one
of the first findings of the Lab:
organisations are inequaly ready to
embrace management innovations for
various cultural reasons.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Radical Change is an initiative
that offers tools and support for
user-driven innovation in county
councils, municipalities and regions.
Launched in 2014, Radical Change
is now in a process of scaling up
and shifts towards the intersection
of national objectives and practical
challenges in implementing
solutions at the local level, based
on a solid understanding of the
user's experience, needs and
knowledge.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
SALAR provides support for
user-centered methodologies. In a
first phase this was provided by
consultants working together with
local teams. In a second phase the
support is transformed into an
independent support combined with
a team of voluntary coaches. We
want to build capacity and address
societal challenges that needs to be
handled in a multi-level governance
aspect. We’re in a process of
RADICAL

forming a national initiative with
thematic focus on immigrants
entering the labor market and
unaccompanied refugee children.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?
Nine municipalities have developed
their ability to work with user-driven
innovation. Several of these are now
coaching within their own organiza-
tion and inspiring others. In the next
phase, 20 more municipalities will
enter the programme.

A LAB
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Since 2008, FutureGov have worked
with around 100 government bodies
around the world. Central to this
work has been supporting over 10
governments to set up their own
innovation lab across a range of
models, some in house and others
based out with the community.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
FutureGov have developed a core
"innovation lab builder” offer. Over
6-12 months, the most common
model has at its heart 2 “demons-
trator projects” where FG pair with
government colleagues to deliver
improvements in services big and
small (from child protection to
waste collection). Around this, FG
work with a number of other
colleagues and their projects to
ensure they have the design skills
and approaches to attempt these
projects on their own. Lastly, the lab
FUTURE
GOV
drives a whole organisation innova-
tion culture through a series of hacks,
events and learning sessions to bring
everyone into the lab process. All
founded around an elegant physical
lab space to act as the home of
innovation in each part of govern-
ment. While the most common model,
it is then adapted to each context
according to cultural fit and the news
of the organisation.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?
Working with over 10 government
bodies, from large English counties of
1m+ population to national govern-
ments such as Georgia and anything
in between (including a commu-
nity-based-government-supported
lab), FutureGov has delivered change
at scale through a number of
demonstrator projects and, impor-
tantly, capabilities transfer, skilling
up teams to sustain the innovation
lab model themselves when Future-
Gov leaves.

Launched in 2011, Bloomberg

Program seeks to improve the
capacity of City Halls to effectively
design and implement new
approaches that improve citizens’
lives.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
I-Teams function as in-house
innovation consultants, moving from
one city priority to the next. Mayors
have successfully deployed i-teams
on issues as diverse as improving
the economic vitality of neighbo-
rhoods, or reducing homelessness.
A set of core values guide the
i-teams efforts : the ambition to
make big changes, a deep unders-
tanding of the problem as well as
the setting of measurable goals, an
open process to inspire and get
inspired, the creation of environ-
ments that enable disruptive

innovation, the will to take risks, to
speed up and challenge traditionnal
processes, and a relentless focuss on
delivry and impact.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?
Bloomberg Philanthropies initially
tested the i-teams approach through
a multi-year investment in five cities.
With demonstrated impact on issues
ranging from reducing murder to
improving recycling to making it
easier to start a small business, all
five cites were able to sustain their
teams when the grants ended; one
through a mayoral transition. Thirteen
additional cities have since joined the
program. Additional research is
underway to scale the program to
more cities in 2016 and 2017 through
new partnerships.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
The i-school is an attempt to
orchestrate the world’s best people,
organizations and knowledge to
enable better innovation learning
and strengthen innovation capacity
across governments around the
world.
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The objective of the i-school is to
strategically support the people,
teams, labs, offices and organiza-
tions inside and/or on the fringes of
government who have a mandate to
innovate and are tasked with
improving the change-making
capacity of government. It is
focused on developing content and
learning experiences that support
in-practice learning – going beyond
methods and tools to learn about
the craft of public innovation. To
ensure the usefulness and validity
of the curriculum, the i-school aims
I-
SCHOOLS
NESTA, UK
to mobilize, facilitate and leverage a
collaborative process within the
community of practice – a co-crea-
tion space where useful knowledge
and practical experiences are
continuously being co-produced,
synthesized and made practically
applicable.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?
The i-school is in the very early
stages of scoping and mobilization.
We are currently developing the core
focus of the curriculum, identifying
expert and government partners and
planning the first stage of co-crea-
tion workshops.
