The Foundations of Innovation Practice - introductory webinar

Facing multiple, urgent, overlapping challenges, organisations and governments need to be increasingly experimental, participatory and agile. Join us for this introductory webinar as we explore the skills and attitudes necessary for public problem solving and six principles for navigating complex public problems.

In this hour long session we'll share our insights on the competencies and attitudes we see as important for innovation teams when tackling public problems, building on our extensive research that resulted in the development of Nesta's Competency Framework. 

We''ll then have a discussion about how to navigate the often messy innovation space with a simple set of principles that we find is effective in cutting through the noise.
