Open Innovation in the Public Sector Public Private Exchange
Innovation in a public sector context has been defined as the ‘creation and implementation of new processes, products, services and methods of delivery which result in significant improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness or quality of outcomes
Shaping policy directions - Implementing policies and programs - Administrative innovations
There are commonalities, differences and synergies between private and public sector innovation. Some aspects of public sector innovation are comparable with, indeed might be almost identical to, aspects of private sector innovation (examples include business process improvements and many aspects of information and communication technologies).
**************************
Theories of innovation suggest the process of product and service development is becoming more open, placing more emphasis on external knowledge and involving a wide range of external actors to achieve and sustain innovation. The growing success of open innovation practices in many firms raises the question of whether these principles can be transferred for the reinventing of public sector organizations.
Going beyond a technocratic e-government paradigm, but with the support of Internet technology, the congress present a structural overview of how external collaboration and innovation between citizens / private sector and public administrations can offer new ways of citizen integration and participation, enhancing public value creation and even the political decision-making process. Open Innovation is a term promoted by Henry Chesbrough, a professor and executive director at the Center for Open Innovation at UC Berkeley, in his book Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating and profiting from technology. The concept is related to user innovation, cumulative innovation, Know-How Trading, mass innovation and distributed innovation.
Open innovation is a paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market. The boundaries between a firm and its environment have become more permeable; innovations can easily transfer inward and outward. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead buy or license processes or inventions (i.e. patents) from other companies.
