Practical Tips for Cultivating Cultures of Innovation

People are at the heart of the work we do in public service. However, we’re often dealing with legacy systems and structures that constrain us from designing for the needs of the people we’re serving. Innovation initiatives are often used as a mechanism for driving change, but it's hard to know where to get started. We also know that innovation cannot thrive without a strong underlying organizational culture that supports curiosity, discovery, risk-taking, experimentation, and agency. 

Join this session to get practical tips for supporting cultures of innovation at your organization (whether you're in a management role or not), as well as an inside look at how Google cultivates a caring culture to drive innovation and inclusion. We will share some principles which form the foundation of our culture, and lead a moderated panel with innovation and change management advisors to discuss ongoing digital transformation work with Federal, State & Local, and Education organizations.
