Innovation-process The Innovation Course™ for government leaders & teams.

Everyone is talking about Open Government, Gov 2.0, transparency, eGovernment and other initiatives? But what is the process of change in government for creating a culture of innovation where you are? Finally a course designed specifically to provide practical frameworks for planning, actioning and communicating change within the unique challenges of public service. And creating careers in public service innovation.

Each run of the Innovation Course™ draws in a different way on 2thinknow’s extensive innovation library, and engages you in real-world exercises from idea generation to implementation to communication. All closed courses are delivered at your offices, or a business centre, and merely require 6 participants for a 3 day standard or 4-day deep dive course.

2thinknow vendor-certified facilitators transfer innovation knowledge related to your departmental, portfolio or policy area. Our unique approach gives you analysis tools to use internally, with each government course illustrated using case studies, slides and materials you can keep, selected from 2thinknow’s huge case study and data-sets. Governmental purchasing discounts may apply.
