It will enable locally adapted, well informed and wise responses that acknowledge complexity, allow for emergence, and build prosperity.

About this session

Session 5 - Building a culture of experimentation to deliver public impact

The old public sector rule-books have been torn up. We are going to have to improvise and experiment to a degree rarely seen before. The places that thrive in this new reality will be the ones to embrace the uncertainty by systematically testing and learning new responses to emergent challenges.

This session will describe how to put this into practice. Presented by Brenton Caffin, the Executive Director of States of Change, helping governments around the world to build the next generation of public innovation.
