Principles of Collaborative Innovation
So, key to the Collaborative Innovation program is bringing together people who have entrepreneurial traits and
innovate, and those who know the structure of the government sector and the latest policy debates. Together, they can
create sustainably anchored and lasting Public Sector innovations

Principles of Collaborative Innovation
The beauty of collaborative innovation is that both sides can focus on their core strengths and complement each other
on their weaknesses.
For example, start-ups can bring in technical and user-cantered experience, while the Public Sector can provide access
to networks and help to scale. However, focusing on strengths requires a trustful relationship that identifies both
strengths and weaknesses on a partnership level.

Principles of Collaborative Innovation
Establishing a collaborative innovation partnership requires finding out how each partner works and clarifying the
process, expectations, obligations, ownership of the innovation, and governance design.
Vet and refine ideas collectively and continuously. It is of paramount importance to clearly and transparently
communicate objectives and approaches to foster innovation and organizational learning.

Principles of Collaborative Innovation
Collaborative Innovation requires both Startups and the Public Sector to be courageous.
Partnering with an unlikely ally always implies that actors within their organization or ecosystem have to be informed,
involved, and convinced that the collaboration is beneficial, despite organizational differences or risks.

Principles of Collaborative Innovation
Innovations do not follow a linear process as they evolve from ideas to fully operational and scalable solutions. Thus,
provide a safe space to innovate.
Public Sector entities should look at setting aside financial and operational resources for experimenting. Start-ups
should demonstrate the flexibility to adjust their solutions/business model.

What is Agile Development?
It is a different way to approach your work, projects, solving problems and meeting user needs.
Think about it as an approach, methodology or framework: Just like any other approach it has its own
terminology/language, tools and processes.
It’s a philosophically different way of doing work (a point worth emphasising as it’s easy to focus on the tools and
techniques, without embracing the mindset).
C O L L A B O R AT I O N MODULE 3 SESSION 1
15
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
What is Agile Development?
It builds up confidence. Seeing work being done, witnessing and feeling progress.
It helps focusing on value. Value will change from project to project and potentially within the same project at different
stages. It could be savings, experience improvement, ability to do something new, a product, a feature.
It will bring you closer to end users. Value should be defined with your users. Work it out early and plan how you could
start unlocking some immediately.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
What is Agile Development?
Agile Development is an approach that allows us to adapt to change and reduce risk
Agile accepts that the scope of the project will change over time and it is a pragmatic response to the reality modern
day projects.
The heart of Agile is adapting gracefully to changing needs. It treats late changes as an opportunity rather than a
problem.
Requirements will change, budgets may change, the scope will change. Agile lets us deal with all of that, efficiently and
gracefully, allowing us to manage risks in a much better way.

17
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
What is Agile Development?
By focussing on user needs, delivering continuously and building testing into each cycle, we shorten the feedback
loops.
Feedback on our work is one of the best ways to improve the quality and find what solutions best meets our user
needs.
Agile also builds in frequent opportunities to improve the process of getting work done in addition to delivering the work
itself.

Agile Delivery Principles
There’s always more to be done than can ever be managed. It’s easy to succumb to urgency bias - prioritising
seemingly pressing, unimportant tasks over the things that are more important, but more complex.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Agile Delivery Principles
We’re not evangelists. The process is a means of delivering incrementally in line with an ultimate objective, and
sometimes the process needs to flex depending on the objective we’re aiming for.
We know that the fundamentals of the process - regular planning, regular reviews, working in the open - will help teams
build momentum and adjust course as they make progress.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Agile Delivery Principles
Exposing the thinking, the approach, the progress and the outcomes means we and others can be regularly engaged at
any step along the way.
We articulate the narrative around our work to build awareness and enthusiasm whilst simultaneously coaching others
through change.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Agile Delivery Principles
With a shared purpose, teams are able to work separately - as groups or individuals - on complementary tasks requiring
different skills whilst understanding the value of their contribution.
We acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of everybody in the team so the right people can come together to
tackle the right problems and we can be greater than the sum of our parts.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Agile Delivery Principles
Theory and concept only gets us so far. Plans have no value unless they’re enacted. There is no perfect moment to
start.
To learn by doing, to learn from failure, to iterate, to test - we have to begin making progress. That doesn’t mean
steamrolling ahead regardless, but the default behaviour is to start somewhere and it takes a conscious decision for us
to stop.
C O L L A B O R AT I O N MODULE 3 SESSION 1
31
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Agile Delivery Principles
We encourage talking about failure as much as we share our successes. We value failure as an opportunity to learn
and improve and we want to develop this mentality within the teams and organisations we work with.
We understand that admitting our mistakes and taking action to rectify them builds resilience and promotes honesty,
both to ourselves and the organisations we serve.

33
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed roles and rituals for agile delivery
Working in new ways and with people you don’t know can be intimidating for everyone with no experience in working
with or for government.
New language can alienate people if there isn’t a shared understanding of what we aiming to do, how we think should
be done and why we to do it this way.
The following represents proposed roles and rituals to be adopt for an effective and collaborative agile project delivery.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed Roles and Rituals for Agile Delivery
Roles
Having an agile delivery manager in the team. This should be someone who helps to coordinate and plan the work
and is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the rituals (they are sometimes called programme or project
coordinators).
Overall, delivery managers help create the conditions the team needs to succeed, on both the project but also to work
collaboratively as a team. The Public Sector organisation should appoint a lead delivery manager, while the Startups
could also have someone who deals with these tasks and connects directly with the lead delivery manager.
The delivery managers could create an agile backlog. This is a tool used to represent work in small chunks and
manage the teams tasks. Trello is a great digital tool that can help deliver managers create and trace the work to be
done, as well as assigning team members responsible for each task (see Digital tools to work in the open).

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed Roles and Rituals for Agile Delivery
Ritauls: Stand-ups
During a standup you discuss what you did on your last working day or module, what you’ll be doing today, and whether
you have any blockers or risks.
This should be recommended to the participants. By regularly checking in as a team and talking to each other about
progress and blockers to progress, they can build trust in each other by working in the open, ensuring that each other
feels supported and they divide and conquer as a team.
C O L L A B O R AT I O N MODULE 3 SESSION 1
37
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed Roles and Rituals for Agile Delivery
A show and tell is a short meeting that takes place at the end of a relevant activity (e.g. at the end of the bootcamp),
where people share their work with other key actors. It’s used to communicate the value they have produced and
progress they have made during the programme.
Working in the open means more than discussing as a team. Participants need to work in the open and show progress
or direction to the people their work affects, as well as getting used being receptive to feedback that they receive from
users and other key actors.
By showing progress and explaining their work often, they ensure that they foster purpose over urgency and are held
to account by users and key actors.
C O L L A B O R AT I O N MODULE 3 SESSION 1
38
PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed Roles and Rituals for Agile Delivery
Rituals: Retrospectives
A retrospective (commonly known as ‘retro’) is a short meeting that takes place at the end of a session or module -
usually after the show and tell. During a retrospective, you review the work you’ve done and processes you’ve used.
You use this time to plan your improvements for the future interactions with participants.
Facilitators need to promote working in the open to get feedback and help participants and Public Sector organisation
work better.
We reflect to then change and pivot to constantly improve and deliver good work. At the heart of how our teams work is
to learn from our mistakes. Retrospectives are safe ways for the team to regularly reflect and adapt and iterate how
they work and what is important to solve problems.

PHASE Transparenting Boxes and Setting the Stage for Collaboration Delivery Principles of Collaborative Innovation Programs
Proposed Roles and Rituals for Agile Delivery
The ‘health’ of the team can change over time, and even subtle changes can have a huge impact on morale and project
delivery. A Team Health Check is a useful way to identifying and addressing team health flags before they become
an issue, keeping the momentum and building team resilience.
It’s a straightforward check-in on how the team is doing. You can include it in a stand-up or have a dedicated meeting
for it. Usually there are three questions you need to cover, asking participants to use a scale from 1 to 10:
A quick team health check could form part of your regular rhythms & rituals i.e. at the beginning of a stand up, be used
in a retro, or could be something you bring in ad hoc.
