Introducing Simpl (Social Innovation MarketPlace) which connects people with ideas for improving public services to people in the public sector who can help make it happen.

Let us know what you think!

Here's an article I came across (via @Kursteekins) on how open innovation can help companies during harsh economic times.  Lots of application to public services as well.

Some thoughts and tips on how local government can find inspiration to innovate and 'do more with less'.

Some great case studies and lessons learned, as well as some useful pointers, with some UK examples as well as some USA ones.

Well worth a read if you're trying to convince your organisation to do things a bit differently.
