*The types of Innovation
**Empowering Change (using the work of Windrum, 2008) included six types of innovation in the public sector.***Services innovation—a new or improved service.***Service delivery innovation—a new or different way of providing a service.***Administrative or organisational innovation—a new process.***Conceptual innovation—a new way of looking at problems, challenging current assumptions, or both.***Policy innovation—a change to policy thinking or behavioural intentions.***Systemic innovation—a new or improved way for parts of the public sector to operate and interact with stakeholders
*Ask if you can edit the pieces already on the blog website; lots of typos and grammar issues
====Innovation in the Public Sector series====
*Innovation in the public sector: drafted first article
**http://ash.harvard.edu/innovations-government
**I’d like to do another piece, specifically on where the R&D budget for the public sector is being allocated. Is it going solely to STEM? Are policy innovation and other less-stereotypical types of innovation being encouraged?
