It is also an opportunity to showcaseinnovations, best practice, and smart solutions to inspirecreativity to tackle these future challenges.The Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovationorganized a space dedicated to showcasing ‘Edge ofGovernment’ innovations at the 2016 World GovernmentSummit. It included a series of exhibits of novel andground-breaking approaches to the globe’s most urgentpublic challenges. The exhibits brought to life a selectionof international case studies of government innovation andimpact on the most important public concerns of our time –health, environmental protection, public safety, and citizenengagement.By bringing these innovations together in one place and for aglobal audience, the World Government Summit was able tohighlight government innovations deserving of wider notice.Some of the innovations featured are well known, but manyare “below the radar.” All solve important public problemsand do so in a novel and impactful way. Hearing about theseinnovations first hand from the innovators themselvesinspired Summit attendees to think about how the ideasembedded in the featured innovations might be applied intheir own work.More generally, the organizers hoped that showcasinginnovation at the edge of government activity will inspiremuch more innovation in government.As the many examples of innovation in government collectedfor this project were reviewed, certain themes emerged inhow government organizations and entities are approachingtheir work. These themes reflect a new pattern for the publicsector problem solving, and taken together suggest a newglossary of government practice.Both the Edge of Government showcase at the WorldGovernment Summit and this companion report have beenorganized around this glossary, which is described in detail inthe following section.As readers go through the case studies presented in thisdocument, and recall the Edge of Government experienceitself, they are invited to imagine how these truly novel ideasmight be used in their own efforts to make government moreresponsive, more efficient, and more effective.Edge of Government Experience The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its forward-thinking leadership have long recognized theimportance of innovation and the primary role itplays in economic progress.
