Innovation Strategy

Innovation has been defined as "the creation of a new, viable offering that adds value" and is deemed a critical requirement for all Public Service Organisations to progress the development and delivery of services both today and for tomorrow, as per OPS2020 and the SRSS Report. This Innovation Strategy reflects this need to continuously improve, deliver best in class services and to tackle the major challenges and opportunities facing both Clare County Council and Ireland.

Clare County Council is supporting the innovation vision set out in DPER’s "Innovation Strategy for the Irish Public Service" and will join its colleagues in the Civil and Public Service in aspiring to "harness the power of innovation to deliver world-class public services in Ireland". Whilst supporting the national vision we, Clare County Council will also aim to "Raise the banner for innovation by embracing our unique environment, people and resources to deliver for Clare". This document sets out Clare Council’s approach to developing the Innovation Strategy, the priorities for innovation within Clare County Council, the initiatives and actions under each priority and concludes with a path to "make innovation real" through an implementation and high-level governance plan.
