The Government Innovation Award aims to encourage government ministries and institutions to adopt creativity in their management, operations, activities and services, create a stimulating work environment and encourage employees to innovate through their ideas, suggestions and initiatives. King Abdullah II Center for Excellence has introduced two new awards under the King Abdullah II Award for Excellence in Government Performance and Transparency, the Government Excellence Award and the Innovation in Public Sector Award.

The award aims to instill innovation and creativity as a dominant culture in the ministries and institutions of the public sector, beyond being individual entrepreneurial initiatives that are not based on a specific system that supports creativity. This helps the ministry / institution to improve its performance by providing innovative services to the recipients.

The award seeks to leverage the potential of public sector employees, which, if directed and supportive environment, will achieve the highest levels of creativity and innovation necessary to improve government services.

The Government Innovation Award and its requirements are complementary to the efforts of ministries and institutions in their quest for excellence through the implementation of the King Abdullah II Award for Excellence in Government Performance and Transparency, which intersects significantly with the Creative Award criteria, which can be included within the master plans / systems of the ministry / institution without the need to create new or parallel systems.

 

The award focuses on several areas, including:

  • Setting clear vision and objectives for innovation at the strategic level within the ministries and institutions of the public sector.
  • Develop a vision and strategies for creativity within the ministry / institution plans and implementation.
  • Strengthen the role of leadership in providing a good example and building an institutional culture supportive of creativity.
  • Planning, developing, motivating and empowering human resources to participate in creative processes, providing them with the skills and behaviors that support creativity and innovation and provide the appropriate environment
  • Adopting the concept of innovation in a way that ensures the complementarity of resources and capabilities with the partners and contributes to the implementation of the policy and strategy of innovation and ensure the achievement of the objectives of the institution
  • Manage technological and knowledge resources and provide funding to support creativity and innovation.
  • Design and manage creative management processes and create and implement effective systems and procedures that include all stages of translating ideas and suggestions into actual projects that are applied and reflected positively on the level of performance and quality of services provided. This includes starting to find creative ideas and then study them and analyze their feasibility and suitability to the ministry / institution appropriate environment and resources for testing in order to put them into final application and to measure the impact on the level of services provided to recipients.
  • Invest in creativity to achieve long-term growth in response to changing economic conditions.
