We are recruiting two consultants to our Governance Innovation team with two goals:
Governance Innovation at Demos Helsinki
Governments around the world now recognise the challenges of the 21st Century. Societies are about to undergo historical transformations – and governments are expected to steer us through. However, the governance tools that governments employ are mostly inherited from the industrial era. The Governance Innovation team at Demos Helsinki works closely with government entities in order to design new ways of operating. This, we believe, can empower governments to successfully steer the necessary transformations.
We work closely with Prime Ministers’ Offices of different governments and recognised international organisations, such as the OECD, UNDP, and IFRC. Our associate network consists of globally leading figures in the field of government innovation.
