04. Identify “good ideas” and innovative solutions

Identify “good ideas” and innovative solutions to long-standing problems


Innovation in policy-making is a slow process. Because of the technical nature of issues at hand, the policy discussion is often limited to restricted circles. Innovative policies tend to be "imported" through "institutional isomorphism". Innovative ideas, from both civil servants and citizens, fail to surface to the top hierarchy and are often blocked for institutional resistance.

Existing instruments for large-scale brainstorming remain limited in usage, and fail to surface the most innovative ideas. Crowdsourcing typically focus on the most “attractive” ideas, rather than the most insightful.
