GOVERNMENT & NON-PROFIT
Governments were traditionally not necessarily looking to be on the “cutting edge” of innovation, however in the light of new social trends as well as the shifts brought about by the covid-19 pandemic innovation has moved up on the agenda.
Despite an increase pressure to become more innovative and make better use of the latest technologies government organizations and nonprofits are still battling a risk averse culture and processes better suited for incremental change. However there are plenty of examples out there that come to prove that change can happen and innovation in government should not be viewed as an oxymoronic construct.
Based on OUTCOME’s pioneering work on measuring corporate Innovation Maturity, we’ve launched ‘AIM Individual’ – a single-person version of the enterprise-wide tool AIM, used to build The Global Innovation Maturity Index.
