Frameworks

Ibtekr platform introduces the updated version of the UAE Government Innovation Framework, building on the success of the first edition launched in 2015. It highlights the evolving nature of government innovation, which adapts to modern challenges and fosters new tools and methodologies. The second version emphasizes impactful outcomes, aligning better with the UAE's governance model, and empowering Chief Innovation Officers with the necessary tools and responsibilities. While updating processes related to planning and funding, the core tools from the first edition continue to guide effective government innovation.

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.

However, since the industrial revolution, that is no longer the case.
