Innovation Projects at the Public Sector Focusing in Sustainable Development

Abstract

We are living in a period that needs thinking of the global economy as a jigsaw puzzle. At the same time, we are moving to the important challenge of having to deal with open collaborative innovation and digital platforms. The change will be possible when government, businesses and individuals all play their respective roles, and agree on a social contract with shared responsibility that societal outcomes will be optimal. It means deal with the emerging innovation frontier of decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain platforms that becomes possible a future creator economy. But we need to be prepared to develop resilience, flexibility, critical thinking and an interdisciplinary. To help governments and public servants, the OECD has developed an integrated framework for mapping existing approaches and policies that support public sector innovation. In Brazil there are the Government Laboratory of Innovation (GNova) focusing on developing innovative solutions in federal government projects and  the Laboratory for Innovation on the Public Sector (LIPS), that in particular is using design thinking, design Sprint, agile approaches, and human-being centered design methods.
