LONDON, England – The Open Innovation Team (OIT) has published an updated introduction to its services, “The Open Innovation Team: Who we are, what we do, and how we can help” showcasing how we support colleagues across government to generate analysis and ideas for policy.
The deck highlights our track record of delivering over 150 projects since our creation in 2016, engaging more than 2,500 experts and saving government more than £5 million in 2023–24 alone.
Operating like an in-house consultancy, the OIT is a government team that works on a cost-recovery basis to deliver bespoke support across all stages of policy development – from early scoping through to implementation planning. The deck sets out our core services – expert engagement, research synthesis and policy development – as well as our wider offer, including training, events and our new Evaluation Services Unit.
We have five university partners – Brunel, Essex, Lancaster, Surrey and York – but we work with academics and industry experts worldwide.
If you have a complex policy challenge, get in touch to find out how we can support you. We’re also happy to present at team meetings or events – contact us to find out more.
