Agile Governance: Driving Innovation in Local Government Organisations

Agile governance in the context of local government innovation, based on Stephen Denning's (2016) theory, emphasises flexibility, speed and collaboration to drive sustainable innovation. Denning outlines that the agile governance approach focuses on principles such as customer-centricity, autonomous teams, iterative progress, and continuous feedback. The purpose of this research is to find out the dynamics of innovation in Regional bureaucratic organisations. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods so that the application of innovation in Regional bureaucratic organisations allows rapid adaptation to changing needs of society and the environment, increasing the effectiveness of policy and program implementation. This involves empowering cross-functional teams, transparency in decision-making, and increased citizen participation. Thus, agile governance supports the creation of a dynamic and responsive government ecosystem, which is able to face complex challenges and encourage innovation for public welfare.
