Systemic Design Toolkit

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation, in collaboration with the UK Design Council, has developed the Arabic version of the recently launched Systemic Design Toolkit by the Design Council. The toolkit includes 11 innovation tools that cover the stages of systemic design and encourages individuals to adopt a holistic approach when addressing complex and interconnected challenges—such as environmental issues, healthcare, and urban development. These types of challenges require solutions that go beyond traditional problem-solving methods by considering how different factors and stakeholders influence one another, thereby fostering the development of comprehensive and sustainable solutions. The toolkit also enhances the innovation process by offering a structured way to creatively address challenges and promotes cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration, allowing for the exchange of diverse perspectives and expertise in tackling interconnected issues.

Frameworks

UAE Public Sector Innovation Framework

In 2015, the UAE Government launched the first Government Innovation Framework. This framework introduced the Innovation Process and the seven Stages of Innovation. Since then, Government entities have created thousands of innovations, innovations that have touched the lives of everyone in the UAE.

As we strive towards achieving our national agenda, and driven by the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, we recognize that the world is continuously changing. The world of today brings different types of challenges and increasing uncertainty.

Public sector innovation itself is changing, bringing in new ideas, and new tools have emerged. The role of public sector innovation has taken center stage, and has become more strategic. The first edition of this framework remains valid and a useful tool for practitioners. This second edition, renamed the “UAE Public Sector Innovation Framework”, was created to keep up with the evolving challenges and mindsets required in the public sector. It complements the first edition and brings additional tools and approaches for this new phase of the innovation journey.

The UAE Public Sector Innovation Framework has been updated to be more strategic and focused on impact and outcomes, and to better align with the machinery of UAE Government. The role of the Chief Innovation Officer has been empowered, giving them the tools and authorities needed to deliver the innovation agenda. While elements of the first edition of the framework have been updated, such as processes related to planning and funding innovation, many of the tools, guidance and checklists of the first edition remain valid.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation remains available to support entities as they innovate and create a better future for all.
