Our society is facing complex challenges, but our public
services are not set up to cope. Radical thinking is needed - which
is why NESTA has created The Lab.

*CO2 reductions in the Big Green Challenge year were monitored
by CRed on behalf of NESTA. This data provides a conservative
estimate of reductions achieved by Finalists across the Big Green
Challenge year. The emissions reductions achieved, now and in the
future, may well be higher than the reductions reported here.At
least 10-46% reduction on baseline in the BGC year
At least 4860 tCo 2yr* in future

Great to be here and to meet you hope to talk with you later and
to answer questions after this presentation. I am alice casey, I
design and develop projects within the social innovation lab at
nesta. Currently leading on the nhood challenge.*EndowmentWhat kind
of organistion? Former NDPB transitioning to charitable
statusWorking on social and economic issues**The social and public
service lab is what Ill be focusing on today*Responding to the fact
that the old ways arent workingExample of the NHS sickness to
wellness (cure to prevention and management)Chronic illnesses eg.
diabetes and mental healthBehavioural change issues also an area
gvt finds v.difficult to tackle top down alone eg. co2 reduction,
social capital increase, anti social behaviour*The only graph Ill
show you!Gives idea of the ongoing nature of the problems were
facing as a society eg. agingJust doing things the same way is not
a viable optionThe scale and urgency of the problem. *Time to try
something new!*How to go about doing it in a moment but first we
need to understand what were talking about when we say
innovation*Lots of people think innovation is just ideas in fact it
is a process of finding those ideas, developing ideas that arent
new and applying those ideas failing, amending, reapplying until
you achieve the desired impact.*Low barriers to entry an an open
call means that we get maximum potential from those close to the
community*We begin to give some steer and support to whittle down
the most promising ideas*Ten finalists actually run and test out
their ideas on the ground all trying to reach a particular goal*4
projects won a share of 1million pounds (the prize could have been
smaller and had the same effect)*Community groups make a real,
measureable impactThey can change behaviour and access hearts and
minds in ways top down government approaches simply do notUnlocking
capacity that we need to tap into to solve intractable issuesIts ok
not to know it all*Practice what you preach try and open out the
learning across your own programmes and be open and proud of
success and failure*How can you apply these to your own
practice?*Evaluating Public EngagementTCI/Involve 2008*Its not just
the things that are easy to measure community resilience is built
through difficult to measure indicators. Tell people a story they
will always remember that*Building local partnerships*Check out the
nesta website for Making IT local. It is a live project blog owned
by our partners. We also asked all our partners to publish their
data and share it openly on a national government website.*Data
shouldnt gather dust on shelves or servers.*A bold choice of
subject /issue*Putting the jigsaw together to make the whole
picture of what can be done using new tech to benefit young people
involved in crime*Fun and interactive events*Supply and demand is
important perhaps a project isnt valuable if there is no demand for
it? Prototyping is a good way to test risky ideas before you
commission a pilot.*Three cool open organisations*Regain your
curiosity! Spend some time pursuing your own interests! You
yourself have an opportunity to make real change far beyond your
own organisation.*Thank you and stay in touch.*Contact information
for NESTA and myself.*
