Description

The DWP Innovation lab is a place for unconstrained innovation based on technology. It uses design thinking practices and draws from the wider innovation ecosystem to bring cutting-edge technology to bear on major cross-cutting problems for our customers, staff and business problems. The following deliverables and benefits will be sought in a new innovation partner.

The ability to scale the exploration of an idea, optimising, sustaining innovation and using radical invocation - each require different elements. Capacity to scale up should we require it is needed.
Ownership - We want to develop the right method for internal strong ownership, traction and scaling, the ability of an innovation partner to support this and help promote the concept of innovation, embedding into the wider culture is key.
Learning - the ability of a partner to teach us is fundamental. Their ability to formalise mechanisms to help understanding and keep innovation relevant will be a key success.
Culture - We have our own language, culture and restrictions. An Innovation partner will need to understand the mechanics of Government and how to operate within its context culturally.
