Select a wicked problem relevant to public administration and governance anywhere in the GCC (i.e. climate change adaptation, cybersecurity, urban congestion, or Al governance).

1. Problem Analysis ○ Identify a literature review and some theory on wicked problem ◦ Use that research to apply to the wicked problem you have identified and explain its complexity. ◦ Why is innovation needed for that problem? Refer back to innovation theory on solving wicked problems [Hint Google Search: wicked problem traffic (or your problem), innovation] ◦ Identifty the problem space you willexplore (example traffic congestion due to timings, too many vehicles etc – make sure you have current relevant facts on the size of the problem) [Words: ~500] 2. Innovation Exploration ○ Identify a public, private or a public-private partnership innovation (policy, program, technology, or governance model) that has been developed to address this problem (it can be anywhere in the world) ◦ Analyze how this innovation is novel (use your literature review to justify what type on innovation it is and why it is or could be successful – for example reflect on theory to see if it is an incremental innovation or a “juggad” innovation). ◦ Discuss how, in your opinion the innovation navigates poltical, institutional, and financial constraints [Words: ~500] 3. Public Value Creation ○ Apply Mark Moore’s Public Value Framework to assess how this innovation creates public value for society [Hint look at theory on public value and apply to your solution] ◦ Evaluate the external and internal factors needed to scale or replicate the innovation [refer to the MBRCGI innovation steps]. ○ Provide recommendations on how the innovation can be further improved or adapted for other contexts [Words: ~1000]
