Faced with increasing demands from residents and amid growing legal and resource constraints, municipalities are experimenting to find new ways of making things work. This webinar will delve into the expertise and experience of local administrators in Canada who have successfully moved innovation from conception to reality.
Based on the new book, Inside Public-Sector Innovation, the webinar will feature success stories from Emma McGarry Ware, Simona Dinu, and Chris Walker, with analysis and commentary from Zachary Spicer, Joseph Lyons, and Tyler Romualdi. Discussion of the book's major findings will be followed by a Q&A.
Inside Public-Sector Innovation is a practitioner-oriented guide highlighting multiple innovations from rural, urban, and suburban governments of various sizes. Chapters cover challenges across policy domains, including diversity and inclusion, public health, environmental sustainability, and service delivery inefficiencies. Altogether, the case studies in the book enhance our understanding of what local public-sector innovation entails and how enterprising public servants can put it to immediate use.
