free 'Data Driven' innovation works from ENGIE &
+ADD Strategy
The public services landscape is undergoing a major transition. Fundamental operational principles are being challenged, and there is strong demand for more radical innovations in service design, operational models and operational processes.
Energy and efficiency needs are changing, driven by increased emphasis on leaner more sustainable organisational frameworks and service delivery principles.
Demands on local government and public services sector are increasing, for evidenced change and better real time decision making. Data driven innovation can both support different thinking and improved decision making.
As a major operator in public sector transformation, ENGIE have developed expertise in data driven innovation and have created new decision making platforms which are being deployed in public and local services to improve operational insight and develop service efficiencies.
What is data driven innovation?
Data-driven innovation forms a key pillar in 21st century sources of growth.
The confluence of several trends, including:
- The increasing migration of socio-economic activities to the Internet
- The decline in the cost of data collection, storage and processing
- The generation and use of huge volumes of data – commonly referred to as “big data”.
These large data sets are becoming a core asset in public service and local government management, and support new insight developments the enable redesign of processes and services delivered and in and creating significant efficiencies and new benefits for the public. For instance:
- In the public sector, data exploitation promises to create value in a variety of operations, from the optimisation of services to more efficient use of labour and tailored public 'customer' relationships.
- The adoption of ‘smart-grid’ technologies is generating large volumes of data on energy and resource consumption patterns that can be exploited to improve energy and resource efficiency.
- The public sector is also an important data user but also a key source of data. Greater access to and more effective use of public-sector information (PSI) can generate benefits across the economy.
What is the offer?
Would you benefit from free works that could encompass exploring new data insights ...Building evidence on potential for change, or re-modelling of data processes with new and leading edge systems thinking?
ENGIE are working with +ADD Strategy to support public sector data driven innovation. The goals of this programme is to support 5 local authorities in England and Wales to explore and discover potential for substantial savings, efficiencies or service improvements through the application of data driven innovation.
The works will be underwritten by ENGIE and enable engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders and audiences.
The approach uses open and design led innovation processes including a facilitated innovation design sprint. The sprints are intensive programmes provided to support successful idea development and prototyping in a rapid and engaging way.
Who is involved?
A select community will be invited from the successful local authorities along with representatives from key stakeholders. There will also be a number of organisations with relevant skills and capabilities asked to participate.
What are the anticipated outcomes?
The outputs of the process will include a range of new tangible data insights, as well as new data visualisations and expressions. Further, the ideas are built into business cases for change that are designed to secure investment by the participants engaging.

Challenges of interest
ENGIE are interested in supporting three types of challenges. Please review the detail below and submit your enquiry on the associated form to arrange a preliminary discussion.
OPerational development
Do you have a significant challenge in delivering operational efficiencies. This may be in an specific department or element of your organisation. Do you want to explore potential for cost savings and efficiencies through data driven innovation?
Digital services
Are you considering aspects of your service provision that could benefit from a review of service design and operations? Could this change be data driven with new processes and systems? Will the service engage with the public and require consideration of privacy, security and public user experience?
revenue development
Are you seeking to introduce new data driven services that can generate a contribution from their operations? Will the service likely be digital?
Do you need to build evidence of potential for the business case from new analytics and data insight? Would you benefit from open innovation approaches to digital business model design and development of service delivery models?
