We can give public servants the tools and methods to deliver new projects and ways of working; however, if officials do not have matching skills and capabilities then there will be limits to how far they can adopt innovative approaches. In this session the panellists will discuss what skills and capabilities officials need to become innovators in government and how managers encourage staff to develop these skills. Managers and leaders also need to think about how innovation features within their approach to talent management, in particular how do you attract and retain people with skillsets that are quite different from traditional public servants to come and work in the public sector?
