¿Qué pasaría si en el gobierno creáramos espacios, burbujas, donde se piense en soluciones en lugar de problemas, donde se les permita a los funcionarios salirse de su rutina y pensar en grande?

¿Qué pasaría si juntamos a las personas más innovadoras dentro del gobierno con los ciudadanos más innovadores y les pedimos que piensen en grandes soluciones para grandes problemas?

¿Qué pasaría si les pedimos que se hagan muchas preguntas, pensar de manera diferente, ponerse en los zapatos de los ciudadanos y que piensen en impacto a largo plazo en lugar de innovación a corto plazo?

Innovadores dentro y fuera del gobierno en un proceso de creatividad, innovación abierta y diseño centrado en el ciudadano. (http://presidencia.gob.mx/agentesdeinnovacion/)

Description

National Innovation Agents (Agentes de Innovación Nacional) is a project owned by the Mexican government’s National Digital Strategy (Estrategia Digital Nacional), trying to push technology-based projects as a means of addressing public issues through innovative methodologies, such as open innovation, citizen-centered design, agile development methods and impact measurement. It was created in 2014 aiming to develop new solutions of public interest, based on citizen’s contributions and collaboration with the public sector. The goal is to have people outside the government collaborate with officials on designing and implementing public policies. Through the course of the project’s first two years, there have been developments in five main areas: in sanitation, through the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS); in economics, with the National Entrepreneur Institute (INADEM), by developing a digital system for the Entrepreneur Fund (Fondo Emprendedor), enabling transparency in the funding process for Mexican entrepreneurs; in matters of public safety and prevention, through the Subdivision of Public Participation and Prevention ( Subsecretaría de Prevención y Participación Ciudadana) at the Ministry of Interior (SEGOB), by researching new methods of involving the population in social programs for violence prevention; in education, with the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), helping rethink distance learning with the help of new technological tools; finally, on government transformation and the democratization of productivity with the Performance Assessment Unit ( Unidad de Evaluación del Desempeño) at the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), devising new methods of receiving and incorporating feedback from beneficiaries on their satisfaction level regarding budgeting projects, in order to better assess public policies (https://www.gob.mx/mexicodigital/articulos/agentes-de-innovacion-nacional?idiom=es). Following the program’s line of work, “Tú Evalúas” (“You Assess”, in Spanish, http://gobiernofacil.com/herramientas/tu-evaluas) was developed as a digital platform allowing citizens to rate the performance of federal public programs, enabling cooperation between the government and its constituents.
