About LA-BORA! gov
"Our purpose is to support and inspire organizations and individuals to innovate and improve the experience of public servants, creating public value."
In an environment of constant and accelerated transformation, innovating in government is no longer optional. Additionally, there is a growing societal expectation for the effectiveness of public services. Understanding that these challenges can only be overcome through the engagement of public servants, the LA-BORA! gov innovation lab was founded in 2019.
Since then, we have been working towards a shift in mindset and behavior, as well as in the way the government interacts with its employees, creating innovative solutions that are better aligned with reality and people’s needs.
Government innovation labs address the need to redesign traditional processes and make them agile enough to respond to the complexity and speed of changes. However, there is still a misconception that this challenge can only be solved through digitalization or technology. While we see technology as an important driver of innovation, people remain our central focus.
At LA-BORA! gov, we value collaborators as the transformative force of the organization. We support public servants in developing innovative and accessible social policies that address today’s challenges, fostering a more just and inclusive society.
