14/06/2021

Tobias Polzer moderated a panel on “Innovation and Public Administration” at the “WU Alumni Future Talks 2021”. This year’s edition of the alumni conference focused on the overall topic of “Innovation”. The panel with experts from the City of Vienna and the Federal Ministry of Finance showcased and discussed recent innovation activities in the two organisations in the areas of digitalization, crowdsourcing and co-creating of solutions with citizens. The discussion highlighted that, in the public sector, innovation most often comes in the form of small changes, but these can lead to transformational change over time. The panel also reflected upon the skills that are useful for business students that are interested in pursuing a career in the public sector and, in particular, public sector innovation.
