Public Sector Innovation Assessment

Public sector innovation assessment is a structured method for examining how, how much and how effectively a government organization innovates — generating and implementing novel services, processes, policies and governance arrangements that create public value. Drawing on the work of the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation and on Mark Moore and Jean Hartley's analysis of innovations in governance, it classifies the types of innovation under way, assesses the conditions that enable or block them, evaluates their outcomes, and rates the organization's innovation capacity. Unlike private-sector innovation metrics built around patents and market share, public-sector assessment centers on public value, legitimacy and the distinctive incentives and constraints of government.
