OECD has assessed the Finnish Anticipatory Innovation Governance System capacity
The official report “Anticipatory Innovation Governance Model in Finland: Towards a New Way of Governing.” will be launched on the 3rd of November in an online event. The report examined how Finland has been incorporating anticipatory functions within its governance system to deal with complex and future challenges in a systemic way.
Together with the Finnish Government and the European Commission, the OECD will share the learnings from co-developing the Anticipatory Innovation Governance model in Finland over the last two years. The principles and functions of the model are explored in practice and a critical look is taken to how the model could be applied in other countries.

OECD assesses the functioning, efficiency and effectiveness of governance policies and administrations in different countries
In the reform of government, it is important to evaluate how successful development work has been. In Finland, almost all major development projects are accompanied by such an evaluation. In addition to these project-specific evaluations, it is important that the overall government and its reform are evaluated at regular intervals. The entire Finnish government was evaluated most recently by the OECD (Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development) in 2015.
