The different sessions of the Workshop will provide practical examples of how different Road and Transport Administrations approach the deployment of innovation within their organization.
The challenges and external forces that Road and Transport
Administrations are facing are becoming increasingly more complex. To
deliver the highest public value and services to society as equitably,
as efficiently, and with the highest quality possible, they must embrace
and implement a culture of innovation aligned with the organization’s
goals, societal megatrends, and focused, for example on technology,
process and people. The ability to successfully implement an idea, a new
technology, engineering, or service solution, can make all the
difference into the public sector’s ability to maximize its delivery of
policy goals, provide relevant and useful value to customers and
stakeholders and improve the image of the organization.
The
Workshop will look into the keys to the successful deployment and
implementation of new innovating ideas and solutions by Road and
Transport Administrations, irrespective of whether they are generated
from top-down or bottom-up approaches, examine barriers and challenges
faced in the successful implementation of innovations, and identify ways
to establish whether innovations are having the expected and right
impact and to measure their success.
The different sessions of
the Workshop will provide practical examples of how different Road and
Transport Administrations approach the deployment of innovation within
their organization, including from the academic and private sector
points of view. The topic will be addressed both from the local level,
applied to the case of Poland, as well as from international
perspectives.
