With @IIPP_UCL colleagues @FerMongeC and Rainer, we explore how academic theory can help navigate the #politics of #innovation. Theory helps to understand the “messy political context” that civil servants live in daily. We'd love your thoughts! https://t.co/7lin03XzNo

Structural capacity shapes what is possible — and what is likely — in city governments. We are exploring the connection between context and dynamic capabilities. A new blog is out now ↩️ @BloombergDotOrg @IIPP_UCL https://t.co/8YcbuEOpEE

How do good ideas spread? What does spreading ideas really mean? How does it happen in practical terms? And do we spend enough time stopping the old, ineffective interventions as much as we advocate the adoption of new ones? New blog out now ⤵️ @IIPP_UCL https://t.co/GnmIkAMR1M

@RPuttick @ben_rog 🎤 What is the Public Sector Capabilities Index? @IIPP_UCL Senior Research Fellow @RPuttick provides an overview of the project, outlining key research ambitions, processes, and more. 🔗Learn more about the process of developing the index here: https://t.co/3SQqFF8BDF

Why do some cities seem to tackle complex challenges more effectively than others? We found the answer lies not just in the cities but in the broader environment in which they operate. New blog by @FerMongeC, Rainer and I @IIPP_UCL ⤵️ @BloombergDotOrg https://t.co/5jkJVZuPTA

💭Lessons from creating the Public Sector Capabilities Index. @IIPP_UCL Senior Research Fellow @RPuttick reflects on the key learnings and findings of the first 18 months of the Public Sector Capabilities Index project ✍️Read her blog post here: https://t.co/EdPVSvhvMK

"Evidence" gets talked about a lot in the world of government innovation. Yet, it can often lack precision or clarity. As @IIPP_UCL and @BloombergDotOrg develop the Public Sector Capabilities Index, I've sketched out what evidence means in this context https://t.co/EiD8HrX6Ke

Great piece by my great @IIPP_UCL colleague @FerMongeC on city governments, innovation, data and what we can learn from history. Kudos for citing Aristotle. https://t.co/E4mFxPnzpK

From our research in Finland, @FerMongeC and I saw the importance of city governments leveraging internal strengths and support of national institutions, foundations and global initiatives to build problem-solving capabilities @IIPP_UCL Our latest blog ⤵️ https://t.co/FJd1hjcl5f

Too excited to sleep at his first #CityLab. We are looking forward to all things city government innovation (and strong coffee) over the coming days 🎉 #CityLab2024 #CDMX

Do you work in city gov or help support their efforts? Please do get in touch if you have thoughts, comments, or feedback as we explore how city govs can effectively respond and adapt to change.

What are the critical capabilities city halls need on hand to effectively and consistently respond to change, new needs, and crisis? We're working with @MazzucatoM and the terrific team at @IIPP_UCL to answer this question -- and help #localgovs worldwide make progress.

Nearly 6 years since I took babe#1 to London for an evidence event, I was back again today with babe#2. Thankfully he also enjoys an evidence chit chat. Thanks for leading the charge @robynmildon. I'm looking forward to what comes next... @AliveEvidence

Moving from theory to practice. As @IIPP_UCL & @BloombergDotOrg develop the Public Sector Capabilities Index, this blog proposes one way that the existing definition of dynamic capabilities could be adapted and developed to suit a city government context https://t.co/npjEnWHh7q

New blog! 🚨 IIPPs @RPuttick and @FerMongeC explore what govts can learn from the @IFRCInnovation initiative about promoting public sector capability building and fostering innovation. Read about enabling, not delivering change and other lessons here 🔗 https://t.co/NTO6WqAVP8

Continuing IIPP's work developing a Public Sector Capabilities Index, our team explore what can be learnt from Blair's Capability Review, striving to improve the effectiveness of governments today. Read @RPuttick here ✍️ https://t.co/LhLymfszPz

New piece with @FerMongeC exploring what gov can learn from the Solferino Academy's capability building work helping humanitarians find solutions to complex challenges across the International Fed' of Red Cross & Crescent Societies @ifrc @IFRCInnovation https://t.co/31BtmBtvRL
