Dear Creative Bureaucrat,
We have identified a number of must-have topics for the Creative Bureaucracy Festival 2021 – one of them is procurement! It is a hidden engine for innovative change, and can even be glamorous.
The topic keeps coming up in conversations and there are a growing number of fascinating initiatives. Public procurement is one of the few powers bureaucracies have to address public challenges in imaginative and effective ways to safeguard the common good. Done well it can involve young, innovative start-ups rather than only large established companies.
By saying “Procurement is glamorous!” we are toying with key levers for innovative thinking where rethinking and reframing can expand our space to address challenges and create solutions. Learn more about the four key levers to public innovation on our website.
For now, enjoy the reading tips and news from the Creative Bureaucracy community below – and please share your news with us so we can help promote your events and activities.
All the best,

Design Tool Kits for the Public Sector
The OPSI has partnered with the Danish Design Centre to explore a collection of useful methods and tools to think about public sector challenges. The article by our festival friend Christian Bason explores the varied spectrum of design disciplines and practices and provides guidance on how to choose the best design method. It also points to what is next for design in the public sector. ➞ LINK
BOOK RECOMMENDATION by Simon Güntner
|
In ‘The Conversational Firm’, Catherine Turco takes us to a very different world when she describes how a start-up aimed to develop an open and transparent organisational culture around a… wiki. Her stories about the dynamics this created among staff are eye-opening. Read all of Simon Güntner‘s recommendations who says: “Good books on bureaucracy are rare, but they are there!” ➞ LINK |
PD – CREATIVE BUREAUCRACY FESTIVAL PARTNER |
|
Those who want to shape the future of administration should get involved, ask questions, develop perspectives and discuss them. The public authorities of tomorrow work with new ideas and solutions, and the PD, the in-house consultancy of the public sector in German, has declared it its goal to accompany these processes in various projects at the federal, state and local level. During the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, we will work with you to focus on methods, tools and best practices that will allow administrations to sustainably take advantage of the dynamics of change created by the pandemic. We would like to invite you to visit our homepage. You can find the latest information about the programme contributions and many exciting project insights. We look forward to your visit and your ideas. |
