SDCC Signs Declaration on Public Service Innovation

South Dublin County Council has signed the Declaration on Public Service Innovation.

The Declaration will build on South Dublin County Council's excellent name for innovative practice by further fostering an organisation wide culture of innovation to better serve our citizens.

The Declaration on Public Service Innovation states that,

In order to serve our people better, the Irish Public Service needs to be highly innovative. Innovation does more than simply drive economic growth. It has the potential to solve some of the most pressing challenges that Ireland faces now and in the future. Our organisations commit to taking the following actions to build a culture of innovation in our Public Service. We will:

1. Further endorse innovation as a responsibility of every public servant;

2. Enable, support, inform and equip our public servants to innovate in their roles;

3. Cultivate new partnerships and involve diverse views in problem-solving and designing and delivering our public services;

4. Generate multiple options for existing and potential problems through exploration, experimentation, iteration and testing;

5. Provide insights into our experiences, best practices and lessons learned with other public servants in Ireland and abroad;

6. Share knowledge and data with citizens in an open and transparent way
