Overall Conclusions

The current state of the literature provides a useful, but only partially complete, set of insights and practical recommendations useful to fostering enhanced public sector innovation. Consequently, the ANAO’s BPG on Public Sector Innovation will be a valuable contribution to a rapidly developing field.

Given similar initiatives underway overseas (particularly in the UK) it will be important to establish and exploit effective liaison mechanisms in order to avoid wasteful duplication of efforts and to exploit useful synergies between different national approaches.
