Governments deal with complex challenges in society that are often wicked in nature -that is, constantly changing and difficult to solve.The core work of the public sector thus requires a capacity to innovate.Yet, innovation in the public sector has tended to be poorly understood and weakly tied to government reforms.Its practice remains inconsistent and unreliable; it neither occurs systematically nor is it supported.To address this, the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) has put forward a Public Sector Innovation Facets model covering four types of innovation -mission-oriented, anticipatory, adaptive, and enhancement-oriented innovation.These different types of innovation are connected to core values of the public sector, including the ability to achieve goals, to continuously improve, to be responsive to citizens' needs and to explore future risks and uncertainties.This report provides a systematic overview of the knowledge base on conceptual frameworks and approaches to public sector innovation.The findings of the research were validated in innovation facet-specific workshops with OECD member countries between December 2020 to May 2021.In these workshops, the drivers and barriers were discussed in addition to additional tools and methods generated by the participants.Close to one thousand experts participated in the workshops over the seven-month period.
