“We’re not going to go back to normal” – Insights from the #GovAfterShock interviews

Written by Alex Roberts, Innovation Specialist on 3 December 2020
In the lead up to Government After Shock we undertook a number of interviews with a range of leaders and practitioners to hear about perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic and what the associated crisis was revealing. The culminating event of Government After Shockwas part of our collaboration with the European Commission through the H2020 programme, and these interviews helped provide us with a richer understanding of how innovation works in practice, with the crisis acting to illustrate and magnify the elements of the innovation process. In this blog post I want to share some of the things that stood out to me and that I think are relevant to the general Government After Shock conversation as we now work to develop the Call to Action coming out of the events. (Note: this is a longer post than usual, but I hope it will be of interest to some and is part of an attempt to ‘show our workings’ as we piece together the Call to Action).
