DESCRIPTION:Governments and public service practitioners are increasingly 
 using the language\, and to some extent\, practice of innovation. Around t
 he world there are growing numbers of government innovation teams and incr
 easing interest in how innovation methods can be applied to public policy 
 challenges more broadly. Public innovation methods are iterative\, creativ
 e and open – they actively seek new perspectives on an issue\, particula
 rly from citizens\, and test and develop new solutions in real world condi
 tions. This talk will describe public innovation and give practical exampl
 es of what it looks like on the ground\, drawing in particular from Nesta
 ’s work on people powered public services.\n\nHalima is Executive Direct
