Hilary Olson and Mila Lukic September 10, 2021 Government Outcomes Lab Social Outcomes Conference Oxford, UK

Abstract

In this presentation, we discuss how co-creation and strengths-based services can facilitate early-stage innovation within SIBs. We provide both findings from recent academic research as well as first-hand insights from program management. We offer evidence from four case studies of SIBs in the UK, based on interviews with program stakeholders and a review of program-related documents.
