Risk and innovation: towards a framework for risk governance in public services

Co-production is blooming under Covid-19, but can we expect it to last? Most likely, in post-COVID-19 times people and institutions will easily slip back into 'business as usual'. This article addresses the relevance of co-production under COVID-19 and argues for the need of co-production initiatives to persist well beyond the pandemic. The conditions that made co-production emerge are likely to change, as emergency regulations and funds are abandoned and as the sense of urgency disappears. Areas of public life where there could be a more lasting effect are those where the basic conditions for successful co-production are already in place and where only a push was necessary for co-production to take off. These conditions include basic commitment, complementarity and supportive regulative frameworks, all of which can be sustained beyond the crisis with targeted choices and sufficient support.

An international exploration of barriers and tactics in the public sector innovation process

The importance of involving citizens in the early stages of public sector innovation and bottom-up governance arrangements for collaboration has been proposed in a number of theoretical papers. However, to date, few empirical studies are evident in the literature. To deepen our understanding of collaborative public sector innovation, our exploratory article analyses: (i) the actors of collaboration, (ii) collaboration across the innovation stages, (iii) the perceived aspects of collaboration for innovative outcomes, and (iv) the governance of collaboration. Our analysis covers 99 innovations from Italy, Japan, and Turkey. We reveal that collaboration still largely occurs within the bureaucracy of public sector organizations. Attempts to include civic and private sectors are evident, depending on the country context. Further, we uncover that a mutual understanding and shared goals are crucial for success, which is accomplished through top-down governance as opposed to self-governed bottom-up networks.

Collaborative public sector innovation: An analysis of Italy, Japan, and Turkey

The purpose of this article is to analyse the role of national context in public sector innovation. Whilst there is a growing literature on innovation types in the public sector, prior studies have analysed data from a single country. Consequently, there is an incomplete understanding of the national context. Our comparative study examines 108 innovations from Italy, Japan and Turkey. The first stage of our empirical evidence uncovers a divergent configuration of innovation types. Further analysis of how national context was constructed by the innovators allows us to provide evidence for a national-context framework for public sector innovation.
