Innovation Management Frameworks

A shared view inside the transformation core

The problem this module addresses

Almost every public organisation has capable people looking after innovation, technology, strategy, people and communications. Each holds a reading that is correct and partial. Capability is not what is missing: a shared language is. While the core does not speak the same language, transformation advances through isolated initiatives competing for the same budget and the same slot in the leader's diary.

Content

  • Decision-making in complex environments: when a problem is ordered and when it is emergent.
  • Open innovation and agile governance frameworks applied to the public cycle.
  • Digital product management and the shift from project to product.
  • Generative AI and agentic systems applied to public management.
  • Levers of change: how incentives are built, rather than announcements issued.

Methodology

Five sessions run against the organisation's real context. Every framework is applied to a concrete decision already on the core team's table.

Deliverables

What the organisation holds at the end

Every NEXT C-LEVEL module ends in an artefact. Not in an attendance certificate.

  • A constituted Transformation CoreNamed membership, roles, convening power and meeting cadence set out in a document.
  • An institutional glossaryThe 30 terms the organisation will now use with a single meaning, from MVP to AI governance.
  • A charter of transformation principlesA short document, signed by the core, stating what the organisation accepts and refuses as digital transformation.
  • A map of leversWhich incentives, rituals and decisions actually move behaviour in that specific culture, and which do not.

From the book Agentic Digital Government

It is not a failure of execution. It is a failure of method. The method assumes a stability that does not exist.

Fernando MitkiewiczRead about the book

Expected result

An integrated view of transformation as an organisational movement, not only as a technology agenda.
