Exploring How To Link Innovation, Partnerships And Platforms
In this podcast with fluido I talk about how innovation is enabled by a combination of people, processes, and technology.
Everyone wants to be innovative – but many innovation programmes over-promise and under-deliver. I set up high-performing projects and programmes that scale and which have real world-impact. Over the last decade I’ve set up and delivered more than £50M worth of large-scale, high-impact innovation programmes in the UK and Europe.
These innovation programmes have covered a number of linked themes – how to use data more effectively, how to adopt new technologies, how to manage change and how to drive change in service design/delivery, and how to bridge the gap between industry/government and research.

BLING has just published my latest magazine – Blockchain and Government in Europe. This 84 page magazine brings together 11 interviews and 8 new blockchain use-cases to explore the state of Blockchain in Government in Europe.
See a video intro to the set of magazines I wrote earlier this year that capture everything that the LIKE! project has learned about accelerating innovation and building capacity by developing ‘innovation cultures’.
I developed the ‘LIKE Cycle’ as an iterative model for capacity development and innovation that builds upon everything we’ve learned delivering the LIKE! project. The LIKE Cycle is a both a pathway for individual and organisational skills development, and a roadmap for service innovation and development.
There’s a real expectation that cities and municipalities will be innovative – almost by default. Innovation requires skilled staff and a flexible organisation, so Like! explored ways to develop organisations to embed innovation in how they work and in how they design and improve services.
LIKE’s Smarter Services work developed new ways of working with citizens and service users to use data and information to complement efforts to co-design better services. There were three themes: 1) Data for Smarter services, 2) Local services, and 3) Channel and content strategies
LIKE! has been developing new ways for cities and communities to use data – to design and deliver better services, and to make better policy decisions for communities.
The ‘Creating Digital DNA’ work in LIKE! has focused on 3 areas: 1) Digital dashboards, 2) Local data for local services, and 3) the Internet of things (IoT).
Learn how BLING (Blockchain in Government) plans to accelerate and de-risk the development and deployment of blockchain-enabled e-services in the North Sea Region of Europe.
A key risk faced by many projects is they didn’t make sure that they had enough staff to deliver what they promised.
I’ll tell you why this is such a big deal to funders and managers, and how you can change your approach to better manage this risk.
BLING – BLockchain in Government – is a €5M collaboration of 13 organisations – governments, cities and universities – who are exploring how governments can use blockchain to enable the next generation of smart services.
Key lessons in how to structure a high-risk project that keeps funders happy and give you flexibility in managing innovation programmes.
