Overview
The American Society for Public Administration ASPA and NIGP are collaborating on a series of webinars around innovation in procurement, this webinar is the first of that series. ASPA & NIGP are passionate about strengthening the relationship between practitioners and the academic community that supports public procurement and its important role in public administration. This collaboration effort allows us to provide our memberships and beyond with new connections, new tools and best practices. For our first webinar we are excited to invite the City of Miami to share their successes with launching the Miami Innovation Academy.The City of Miami launched in late 2017 the Miami Innovation Academy, a series of innovation / process improvement workshops where employees learn valuable techniques (process mapping, waste identification, experiment design) that help them clearly see and solve problems.The City’s Procurement Department took the lead in having the entire department trained, and used the techniques learned to streamline procurement processes and achieve savings in time and money.
