CSGDB moves to support innovation, fast-track project implementation
QNA Doha President of the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau (CSGDB), and Secretary-General of the National Planning Council, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Nasser bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, launched the 'Government Initiatives Accelerators' at the Innovation Lab. The initiative aims to accelerate the implementation of innovative government projects in line with national priorities under the Third National Development Strategy. During the launch, Director of Government Development Affairs Youssef Jaber Al Jaber provided an overview of the four phases of the accelerator programme, explaining the mechanisms of each phase and how innovation tools are employed to support decision-making and develop solutions in a collaborative and systematic manner. The accelerators provide a practical model that supports the transformation of government work methodologies from planning to execution. They contribute to building a more effective institutional framework that enhances responses to developmental challenges and aligns with the aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030. The accelerator programme follows a structured, four-phase approach over an eight-week period. It begins with the exploration phase, which involves analysing the current situation and identifying challenges and needs. This is followed by the idea generation phase, which includes interactive workshops utilising innovation design tools. The next phase, solution design, focuses on developing a proof-of-concept model in collaboration with the Innovation Lab team. The final phase involves handing over the model to the partner organization for broader application. This model provides a practical framework to accelerate institutional progress and enhance the readiness of government entities to launch projects that have a tangible impact on service improvement.
