CAPAM International Innovation Awards Programme, (PDF)
2001-2002
Theme: Innovations in Governance
The
theme of the 2001-2002 CAPAM
International Innovations Awards Programme is “Innovations in
Governance.” For the
purpose of this Awards Programme:“Governance
is about how an organisation steers itself and the processes and
structures that are used to achieve its goals. Governance is also crucially concerned with how organisations
relate to each other, how they relate to citizens, and the ways in which
citizens are given a voice.” –Meredith Edwards; 2000.Thus,
the CAPAM International Innovations Awards Programme will be seeking
submissions which demonstrate innovative practice in governance that respond
to the significant challenges extant in the current environment.In
particular, the CAPAM International Innovation Awards Programme Jury will be
looking for innovations that address governance challenges such as:–
partnering:the
increasing involvement of the private and non-governmental (or voluntary or not-for-profit sectors) in the both
the development of policy and the delivery of service–
accountability:in
the face of the blurring of roles and responsibilities of the public,
private and non-governmental sectors and the delegation of authority, means
by which accountability is maintained through the citizen to Parliament–
communication and information revolutions:the
extent to which information has become more accessible, more diverse, more
voluminous, and communications technology has thus eliminated the government’s
monopoly on information–
demands for citizen engagement:responses
to the increasingly well-informed and well-educated citizens’ demands for
involvement in decision-making around the policy development, service
delivery, and the use of public resources more generally–
integration of horizontal and vertical management:the necessity for government departments and agencies to act in concert with
other with one another to achieve outcomes–
maintenance of policy coherence in a fragmented policy community:the
capacity of government to maintain policy coherence despite the involvement
of a multitude of players and an evolving accountability framework–
political or Parliamentary structures:adaptation
of Parliamentary structures to the evolving and complex public sector
environment–
evolution in required human resource competencies:demand
for new skill bases which reflect the changing nature of work, one concerned
with complex programme, project and contract management skills, procurement
and IT skills, more so than direct delivery skills–
values and ethics:the
challenge of ensuring that the core values of government – integrity,
impartiality, meritocracy – continue to be observed through transformations in governance

Theme: Service to the Public
Up to 10 finalists will make presentations to the Jury at the 2000 CAPAM Biennial
Conference October 15-18, 2000, Cape Town, in South Africa. Each of theFinalists’ submissions will be presented to the delegates at the
Conference. At a formal ceremony on the final evening of the Conference, the Gold, Silver
and Bronze winners will be presented with their awards.A. Purpose
The purpose of the CAPAM International Innovations Awards Programme
is to promote innovation in government reform throughout the Commonwealth. The Awards
Programme provides Commonwealth countries with varied perspectives on change and exposes
models which may be adapted and applied in differing environments. The theme of the Awards
Programme is “Service to the Public”. The theme focuses on the ways in which
governments and their agencies provide services to their citizens. More specifically, the
CAPAM Awards Programme seeks innovations that:– tap the creativity of front-line employees, through changes in
work design and supervision;– reshape organisational culture in profound ways that improve
public performance;– implement significant policy innovation;
– uphold just and honest government and directly or indirectly
prevent or eradicate corruption;– exemplify multi-agency, intergovernmental, public-private, NGO and
voluntary sector collaboration; and– demonstrate effectiveness in performance-based management.
B. Evaluation Criteria
The criteria to be used for evaluation of the submissions will
include:Effectiveness.
That the innovation has been commissioned or
chartered after June 30, 1996, and thus sufficient time has passed to demonstrate the
initiative’s effectiveness. Particular attention will be paid to costs of
implementation, savings and other related benefits.Innovation.
That in the Jury’s experience, the entry
is genuinely innovative within the public sector. Innovation may take the form of a
successful experiment; the implementation of effective organisational change; the
translation of new ideas into practice; or harnessing new technology. Where innovation
involves technological change, the emphasis will be on how the technology was introduced
into the organisation.Relevance.
That the innovation is consistent with the
Awards theme and that it is relevant. The impetus for the change and the purpose and
objectives of the change should be noted.Significance.
That the benefits of the innovation, either
actual or potential, are significant; note: significance can be local as well as national
and will not be evaluated simply on the grounds of the size and scale of benefits.Replicability.
The submission has or will be replicated in
some shape or form by other governments or agencies. If so, it should be noted by whom and
the level of success to date.Appropriateness to Context.
Given regional economic and
socio-economic conditions, particular technologies may be more appropriate to the
situation or context (i.e. capital financing versus labour intensive improvements).Published March 24, 2000

based on an analysis of what makes for an effective organization. These have been

activities in seven categories:
- Leadership

- Human Resource Development and Management
- Process Management
- Business Results
- Customer Focus and Satisfaction
These seven criteria categories are Examination Items and Areas to
Address. Examination Items consist of sets of Areas to Address. There are 24 Examination
Items.Although developed with the private sector in mind, the approach of
the Baldrige Award is applicable to the public sector.The Canada Awards for Excellence use the Baldrige Awards approach.

performance;- have made a difference in the lives of the people it serves; and
- serve as a model that can be replicated or adapted by other

Definitions.
- Demonstrates the capability of the information infrastructure. In
judging this criterion, the judges will consider the extent to which the Entry:
- opens communication, knowledge and/or bodies of information to those
who had limited or no access before.- encourages communication and/or collaboration beyond traditional
boundaries.- empowers its users and/or community of interest.

of users.- Produces practical results and benefits In judging this criterion,
the judges will consider the extent to which the Entry:

- Is innovative In judging this criterion, the judges will consider the
extent to which the Entry:
- represents a new way to meet the needs of targeted people or groups.
- provides a unique motivation for people to use the information
infrastructure.- is clearly distinctive from similar projects, applications or
services.THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE
The information infrastructure is the combination of public and
private networks, computers and electronics that connects people with people, and people
with information. The US National Information Infrastructure (NII) is that part of the
Global Information Infrastructure (GII) which is used in the United States. The wired and
wireless interactive networks of businesses, carriers, schools, communities, government
agencies, and the Internet all form part of the GII.Through applications such as electronic commerce, telemedicine,
distance learning, community and health networks, virtual libraries and communities,
collaborative work, online information services and interactive entertainment, the GII is
being used today to improve people’s productivity, health and well being.Updated
