On 10 December 2009, the Centre for Social Innovation hosted Christian Bason, Director of MindLab (Denmark) for a day of workshops and seminars with over 120 forward-thinking senior public and private sector managers. Themes emerging included:

• Innovation as a means to “get more of what we want” – the quadruple bottom line of productivity, service, results and democracy;
• Focus on citizens and users as the starting point for service transformation
• Outcome-focused collaboration – across agencies and sectors – as critical

Christian discussed MindLab’s work on the Nine to Noon programme and there was interesting coverage in the Dominion Post.
