Great to be here and to meet you – hope to talk with you later and to answer questions after this presentation. I am alice casey, I design and develop projects within the social innovation lab at nesta. Currently leading on the n’hood challenge.
Endowment What kind of organistion? Former NDPB transitioning to charitable status Working on social and economic issues
The social and public service lab is what I’ll be focusing on today
Responding to the fact that the old ways aren’t working
Example of the NHS – sickness to wellness (cure to prevention and management) Chronic illnesses eg. diabetes and mental health Behavioural change issues also an area gvt finds v.difficult to tackle top down alone eg. co2 reduction, social capital increase, anti social behaviour
The only graph I’ll show you! Gives idea of the ongoing nature of the problems we’re facing as a society eg. aging Just doing things the same way is not a viable option The scale and urgency of the problem.
Time to try something new!
How to go about doing it in a moment but first we need to understand what we’re talking about when we say innovation
Lots of people think innovation is just ideas… in fact it is a process of finding those ideas, developing ideas that arent new and applying those ideas – failing, amending, reapplying until you achieve the desired impact.
Low barriers to entry an an open call means that we get maximum potential from those close to the community
We begin to give some steer and support to whittle down the most promising ideas
Ten finalists actually run and test out their ideas on the ground – all trying to reach a particular goal
4 projects won a share of £1million pounds (the prize could have been smaller and had the same effect)
Community groups make a real, measureable impact
They can change behaviour and access hearts and minds in ways top down government approaches simply do not
Unlocking capacity that we need to tap into to solve intractable issues
Its ok not to ‘know it all’
Practice what you preach – try and open out the learning across your own programmes and be open and proud of success and failure
How can you apply these to your own practice?
Evaluating Public Engagement TCI/Involve 2008 Its not just the things that are easy to measure – community resilience is built through difficult to measure indicators. Tell people a story – they will always remember that…
Building local partnerships
Check out the nesta website for Making IT local. It is a live project blog owned by our partners. We also asked all our partners to publish their data and share it openly on a national government website.
Data shouldn’t gather dust on shelves or servers.
A bold choice of subject /issue
Putting the jigsaw together to make the whole picture of what can be done using new tech to benefit young people involved in crime
Fun and interactive events
Supply and demand is important – perhaps a project isn’t valuable if there is no demand for it? Prototyping is a good way to test ‘risky’ ideas before you commission a pilot.
Three cool open organisations
Regain your curiosity! Spend some time pursuing your own interests! You yourself have an opportunity to make real change far beyond your own organisation.
