Innovations in the public sector are usually driven by external forces or disasters. Institutions such as government executive bodies, trade unions, churches, schools, higher education institutions, hospitals, community and charitable organizations, professional and trade associations, etc., also need to participate in the innovation process. Rapid changes occurring in society, technology, and the economy have affected these organizations as well. However, government institutions find it even more challenging to innovate than the most bureaucratized commercial companies. All government institutions tend to expand. In the absence of a metric like profit, size becomes the sole criterion of an institution's success, and growth turns into an end in itself. But for government institutions, stopping what has "always been done" and doing something new is extremely difficult. Innovations in government institutions are generally driven either by external forces or by disasters. TIP OF THE DAY. Fight against the bureaucrats within your non-profit organization who only do what is habitual. Innovate in response to the rapid social, technological, or economic changes affecting your institution.
