Why accelerate innovation labs in the public sector?

Public innovation labs are a powerful response to current challenges, but simply having them is not enough. They need to be strengthened so that they fulfill their purpose.

01

urgency of public problems

04

need for organizational and operational sustainability

02

need for rapid experimentation

05

strengthening methodological capacity

03

need for cultural transformation on a large scale

06

professionalization of innovation teams

Inteligência estratégica

Nosso modelo de trabalho baseou-se em referências teóricas e estudos de caso de excelência para a identificação de capacidades e práticas essenciais de gestão de laboratórios de inovação alinhadas aos desafios contemporâneos no setor público.

Acceleration journey

I.LAB accelerates laboratories to operate in an integrated manner and strengthen their innovation capabilities. Through diagnosis, co-creation, experimentation, and connection to the ecosystem, each lab evolves in method, maturity, and impact, transforming public innovation into value for governments and society.

Dynamics of the meetings

Tools

Our unique tools are developed based on innovation by design principles and support the execution of activities in each acceleration program session.

Common tools used in labs and applied on days 1, 5, and 6 of the acceleration program.

“The I.LAB acceleration program helped us transform a still dispersed intention into a concrete institutional proposal. The process forced us to move beyond the generic idea of innovation and translate our purpose into scope, governance, priorities, and achievable deliverables. For LabGes-DF, the main lesson learned was understanding that the administrative area can also be a strategic territory for public innovation. The acceleration provided method, legitimacy, and direction so that innovation would cease to be just a wish and become a formal structure, capable of mobilizing civil servants, redesigning processes, and generating value for public management.”
