Research

Our research locates barriers and opportunities for innovation in public service delivery. It can transform the way you see the nature of the problem and empower you to achieve radically different solutions. We do this by looking for new insights from the public and from leading practice elsewhere. We can help you tap in to innovative ideas from front line staff and service users, and develop case studies that can help your organisation broaden knowledge of existing innovative practices.

We believe it is important to support and stimulate the work of innovators in the initial stages of the innovation process. We can do this through horizon scanning to source proven public service innovations from around the world.

In the latter stages of innovation projects, our research can help evaluate impact and extract key lessons from the innovation process, and help you transfer these to future projects.

We can also transform our research findings and policy recommendations into practical tools to support innovation. We use these to facilitate learning processes, projects and programmes that can help you find solutions to the challenges you face.
