The blind spots of collaborative innovation
文章从双重含义探讨协作创新的盲点:既指其潜在弱点、风险和意外后果,也将其视为应对公共组织盲点和注意力偏差的策略,有助于批判性审视协作创新对公共治理的承诺。
In discussing some of the core claims of collaborative innovation, this article uses the notion of ‘blind spots’ in a double meaning. On the one hand, it points at some blind spots in the debate on collaborative innovation, i.e. potential weaknesses, risks, and unintended effects of public sector innovation strategies resting on principles of collaborative innovation. Second, the paper considers collaborative innovation as a counter-strategy against blind spots and attention biases of public organizations. Drawing on this perspective helps to critically discuss some of the key assumptions supporting the promise of collaborative innovation to deliver benefits critical for public governance.
