What is Our Journey?

Our Shared Objective

our journey

ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL

"Our shared objective is a 21st century UN focused more on people and less on process... more on delivery and less on bureaucracy."

Innovation in the UN

our journey

ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL

“We can do things differently, and we can do different things… innovation is not only the most sophisticated technologies, sometimes it’s the simplest of things. Be bold, be revolutionary… and disrupt… because without innovation, there is no way we can overcome the challenges of our time.”

What will I learn?

Please discuss:

Facilitator: the one whose first name is closest to A; Reporter: the one whose first name is closest to Z.

What do you hope to learn from the 2023 UNFPA Innovation Springboard Programme?

Breakout Room Activity 8 minutes - 4-5 participants

What will I learn?

By the end of the programme,YOU should be able to:

... outline the key elements of design thinking, and apply these to the innovation process.

... develop innovation storytelling and pitch capabilities/methodologies to improve communication and buy-in for innovation interventions.

... undertake coaching conversations with peers related to the scoping and design of innovations.

... discuss how key concrete skills can foster an enabling environment for innovation through modelling and promoting psychological safety; learning from failure; and fostering creativity.

... understand how nudging and behavioural insights can further improve the tailoring of your innovations.

... explore how to develop a vision and a strategy for transition and change related to the implementation of your innovation efforts.

... discuss how to design for testing and experimentation, to enhance innovation interventions through iteration and learning loops.

... effectively utilise the UN Innovation Toolkit; its diagnostic element; and the included UN customized tools to plan for, and facilitate, innovation.

... discuss what innovation is, and the different types of innovation.

Programme Objectives

There is no discussion agenda for this, so feel free to use this opportunity as you'd like!

Our next activity is optional - if you wish, or need to take a break, that is absolutely fine. However, if you want, you can now have an opportunity to meet colleagues you have not met yet.

After you have indicated your interest, we will place you in a breakout room. You can come back to the plenary at any time.

If you'd like to take this opportunity, please type "yes" in the Zoom chat.
