Feasibility study - capacity building for system transformation

Purpose and goal

The purpose of the project is to map and analyze capacity building efforts aimed at the public sector for system innovation. The project maps common types of efforts, their scope, content and relevance, as well as needs and demands from various stakeholders. The project will also analyze what needs to be developed, limitations/bottlenecks, criteria for scalability in capacity building efforts, and indicators for assessing quality, cost-effectiveness and innovation potential.

Expected effects and result

The feasibility study aims to contribute new knowledge about specific needs and challenges for public organizations at different administrative levels and sectors, as well as a co-creative analysis deriving proposals for capacity-building measures regarding collaboration and system transformation.

Planned approach and implementation

Mapping needs and existing capacity-building efforts includes (i) a compilation of the state of knowledge based on scientific literature, public investigations, and other relevant reports, (ii) data collection through semi-structured interviews with experts, (iii) document analysis of publicly procured advice and training for capacity building, and (iv) workshops with stakeholders.
