Civic Spark: Igniting a Culture of Innovation within Your Organization
Join us for a two-day, hands-on training programs designed to equip local government leaders with the tools and strategies to foster a culture of innovation. Participants will work in teams to learn to empower teams, promote cross-departmental collaboration, and create a safe environment for experimentation.
- Day 1: Foundation Setting for Innovation will cover topics such as understanding innovation, learning from real-world case studies in local government, diagnosing an organization's current innovation culture, and applying design thinking principles to solve real civic problems and paradigm shifts in local government.
- Day 2: Leading & Scaling Innovation focuses on overcoming internal resistance and building buy-in for innovation in the organization, building an organization's innovation playbook, and creating an innovation action plan for each jurisdiction that can be implemented over the next 60 days.
