To celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day (21 April), we welcome a guest blog from CivTech Scotland on understanding innovation and using tech for good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

At CivTech<\/a>, our mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people\u2019s lives better \u2013 and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.<\/p>\n

We achieve this by taking problems public sector organisations experience, and solving them in collaboration with innovative businesses. We take approaches like open challenges and tech accelerators, common in the private tech sector but rare in the public sector \u2014 that are doing so much to transform the world we live in. And, in adopting and adapting these approaches, we\u2019re harnessing the potential of the tech revolution to serve a central purpose \u2014 tech for good<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of the challenges and solutions we\u2019ve worked on previously.<\/a><\/p>\n

Encouraging innovation is a big part of our job. But how can this be done?<\/p>\n

Understanding innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to understand the meaning of innovation. There\u2019s an awful lot of complication put out there about what it is, but in truth, it\u2019s simple. It\u2019s what occurs when someone improves on or makes a significant contribution to an existing invention, product, process or service.<\/p>\n

Equally, it\u2019s important to understand what innovation isn\u2019t. It\u2019s not invention, where there\u2019s the creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A great example of innovation is the smartphone. When Apple launched their first one in 2007, there was absolutely nothing in it that was in any way \u2018new\u2019. The components, such as LCD screens, processors, the battery and the telephone elements were mainstream tech. So was the music player.<\/p>\n

But it was the combination of these things that made the iPhone so innovative. Suddenly we had small computers in our pockets that just happened to play music and make calls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Innovation is about exploring the possibilities that exist in new technologies and knowledge to radically alter and improve the way things are done.<\/p>\n

And to consider the difference between invention and innovation, think about the wheel. As far as we know, this was invented some 5,000 years ago, and we\u2019ve been innovating it ever since. From the huge, roughly hewn, crude \u2018chunks of wood\u2019 that formed the original design, through countless iterations to all sorts of modern, elegant, diverse and efficient designs we have now.<\/p>\n

The inventors of the wheel from 5,000 years ago would undoubtedly be amazed at the sight of a modern wheel for a bike. They\u2019d be stunned by how light yet strong it was; the notion of \u2018spokes\u2019 might astound them, that something so thin could be so strong. They wouldn\u2019t understand the technologies used to produce it, its steel and carbon fibre composition.<\/p>\n

But undoubtedly, they\u2019d recognise in its shape, the thing they invented.<\/p>\n

Historically, the way we innovate has stayed much the same over time. It all starts with a need, and the exploration of possibilities. And it always starts with an open question:<\/p>\n

How might we improve this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Understand the problem<\/h3>\n

Innovation occurs when you identify and understand the problem that needs to be fixed. Ideas for new technology, products and services are all very well, but if they do not solve a problem that will make someone\u2019s life better, in any way, then what is the point?<\/p>\n

Understand your problem, the impact it causes and why it needs to be fixed. Then communicate this problem well to the widest possible audience of people who have the skills and experience to help you fix it.<\/p>\n

Any individual, team, innovator, entrepreneur, small or large business \u2013 literally anyone \u2013 can offer a solution.<\/p>\n

Why spread the net so wide? Because you don\u2019t know where the right idea might come from.<\/p>\n

CivTech 7 Challenges will open on Public Contracts Scotland<\/a> (PCS) in late May 2022 and are open for anyone to apply. Register your interest on PCS to stay up to date with the latest news and have access to the Q&A system, and the electronic postbox where applications are submitted.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much, CivTech Scotland! We’re excited to see the new challenges revealed and the true power of innovation in Scotland harnessed!<\/p>\n
