Bringing new ideas to fruition in complex bureaucracies is key to their success, and possibly to their survival. Irena Guidikova, head of Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Programmes at the Council of Europe and formerly in charge of their World Forum on Democracy has been doing that for over 20 years. Irena in conversation with Phil Wood will describe how you can seize opportunities for innovation by launching and growing pilot initiatives which allow you to stretch and push at the frontiers of bureaucratic rules and inertia and grow into transformative actions. How can this happen? Does it arouse suspicion, do you need a sympathetic boss and what happens when they leave, are sympathetic outsiders a help? How do you get resources? Is the first failure terminal? How do you embed new approaches into institutional behaviours?
