Charles Leadbeater : comment faire passer l’innovation publique à l’échelle Charles Leabeater, pionnier anglais de l’innovation publique et fondateur de Participle, donnait le 26 octobre dernier une conférence sur l’innovation publique (vidéo) chez nos amis du MindLab à Copenhague. Une intervention courte et dense qui pose d’intéressantes questions sur l’innovation publique. MindLab Morgen, Charles Leadbeater from MindLab on Vimeo. Tech City Map - Home Tech City Map is a constantly-evolving compendium of East London's vibrant technology and creative ecosystem. In addition to showing where businesses are located Tech City Map uses advanced technology from Trampoline Systems to reveal the web of connections linking them together and calculate each company's influence in the community. The platform works by pulling in streams of Twitter data from each business and tracking following relationships, mentions and retweets. It was launched by UK Prime Minister David Cameron in November 2011 at the Trampery in Shoreditch, East London.

www.wizzvet.com dontflush.me The idea behind this project is to allow NYC residents to help reduce the amount of pollution in the harbor. Some 27 billion gallons of raw sewage is dumped into the harbor every year. This comes from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) that open when the sewer system is overloaded. The idea is to enable residents to understand when the overflows happen and reduce their wastewater production before and during an overflow event. Inside a CSO regulator in Brooklyn.

Revue de l'innovation: Title goes here La revue de l'innovation favorise l’échange d’idées et de renseignements sur l’innovation dans le secteur public. En ligne depuis plus de dix-huit ans, La Revue de l’innovation est bien plus qu’une simple publication électronique. Elle constitue une lecture essentielle pour les praticiens, chercheurs, étudiants et tous ceux qui sont intéressés par l’innovation dans le secteur public.

Définir les indicateurs clés de performance - KPI - Débuter en Web Analytics (3/4) Après avoir vu comment réaliser un plan de marquage pour analyser son site et comment procéder techniquement au marquage des pages, nous allons nous intéresser dans cet article à la définition des indicateurs clés de performance (appelés également KPI pour Key Performance Indicators) En effet, avec l’amélioration des outils de web analytics, il a de plus en plus de données qui sont collectées. Il est impensable de passer du temps à analyser chacune de ces informations… C’est pourquoi pour simplifier le travail des managers de votre entreprise, optez pour la création d’indicateurs clés de performance. [nice_info]Ok. Mais c’est quoi un indicateur clé de performance ?[/nice_info]

Sitegeist by the Sunlight Foundation Global Public Innovation Network - Ash Center The Global Public Innovation Network, established in 2002, is a collaborative network of 10 public policy awards programs from around the globe. With support from the Ford Foundation and contributions by the individual programs, the Innovation Network gathers and disseminates knowledge about innovations in public service provision, public action, and governance. These innovations represent significant contributions to the collective well-being of citizens and to the reduction of social, economic, political, gender, and ethnic inequalities. By sharing successful local practices through an international network, the impact of each awards program can extend far beyond its country’s borders. Innovation Network activities include workshops, research, and publications. Partner Programs

Qu'est-ce qu'un attracteur étrange ? L’attracteur étrange : cette courbe n’est pas celle du mouvement mais représente les états du système et elle montre que dans des cas où on aurait l’impression du désordre, il y a cependant un certain type d’ordre, des lois, d’où l’expression "chaos déterministe". Un attracteur signifie que la dynamique a tendance à être attirée par lui. Par exemple, le fleuve est un attracteur du bassin fluvial. Etrange signifie que la forme de cet attracteur n’est pas une courbe ni une surface et n’est même pas continue mais reconstituée point par point de manière discontinue par la dynamique qui, bien qu’apparemment désordonnée, reconstitue ce type spécial d’ordre. C’est un ordre de type chaos déterminsite car il obéit à la sensibilité aux conditions initiales (un petit changement entraîne des possibilités de changements considérables par la suite).

Public Innovation, Fraunhofer FOKUS Public Innovation focuses on the innovation promotion and generation role of the public sector and its related institutions. The challenge is in identifying, measuring and explaining public innovation on the one hand and assessing its impact on and interrelation with innovations in the private sector. The service offering of Fraunhofer FOKUS’s Public Innovation research group targets three research areas: Knowledge regimes and technology transfer (KTT) Innovation driven private-public partnerships (PPP) and public procurement (PP) Standardization, certification and accreditation (= Quality Infrastructure) (QI) Background Info: Tech City Investment Organisation For updates from us direct to your inbox, sign up to the Tech Telegram – our monthly newsletter: Through dedicated programmes, we support the digital technology sector’s need for skills, infrastructure, and investment. We gather and share vital information which informs policymakers. We give digital entrepreneurs a national and local voice.

A Pilot Centre for Excellence in Public Sector Design [Ken Pettifer is acting Deputy Secretary at the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education] One of the ideas included in the Australian Public Service (APS) Innovation Action Plan released in 2011 was the establishment of an APS Design Centre that could assist in developing and testing new approaches to complex policy challenges and to enhance government program delivery. This in turn was based on a recommendation within Empowering Change that the APS establish a MindLab style collaborative experimentation program. In December the Secretary of my Department, Dr Don Russell, gained agreement and support from the Secretaries Board for an 18 month pilot. This will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the value of design thinking across the APS and to ensure the Centre’s activities complement the growing body of design expertise the already exists within a number of APS agencies.
