Public Sector Innovation Institute
Idea #1: There are many tools, techniques, and strategies out there for problem-solving, innovation, planning, and decision making.
Idea #2: Thousands of organizations and groups are interesting making the world "better" in some way, often with poor results, slow results, or no results. Sometimes the unintended consequences cancel out any benefits.
Idea #3: An organization that offers training, advice, and information on stuff mentioned in #1 to people mentioned in #2 would seem to fill a real need in the world.
Thus, I imagine the Public Sector Innovation Institute as a way to provide support for using "business tools", for lack or a clearer term, to NGOs, nonprofits, activist groups, and government. Secondarily, the Institute would would work with social entrepreneurs to develop their ventures.
This idea and the requisite "business tools" have been an interest of mine for several years. So, I can bring a great deal of accumulated knowledge and thought to the project as a consultant or business plan writer. Oh, and I have written a couple of business plans so I can claim some limited experience and knowledge in this area.
This Institute could be a business or a nonprofit. It would have to have a "brick-and-mortar" location in addition to a Web site. Revenue could come from training, consulting, white papers, and possibly through referral relationships with software vendors. The Institute could also publish books on applying business tools to innovation in public sector organizations. I have a proposal and sample chapters for one such book and some detailed ideas for others.
If you would like a quick introduction to the sorts of "business tools" that the Institute would use or teach visit Innovation Tools.
