“…This implies being willing to take the risk that is involved when being innovative. 10,14 According to Hartley 15 innovation is uncertain in both process and outcome. The argumentation regarding the importance of innovation has stressed the risks and the importance of the municipalities’ willingness to move ahead, despite those risks.…”

“…Several public documents and research emphasize social innovation as the solution to social challenges and so-called wicked problems, problems in the welfare state that are important, but difficult to solve. 7,[10][11][12][13] In accordance with this, the government stresses the importance of the public sector and municipalities to be innovative when it comes to different services, both regarding the content and the organization of these. This implies being willing to take the risk that is involved when being innovative.…”

The welfare state is facing complex challenges. Social innovation is considered as the solution to social challenges and so-called wicked problems, problems in the welfare state that are important, but difficult to solve. This implies being willing to take the risk that is involved when being innovative. A discussion of how different kinds of social innovations carry various risks and how some of these can be prevented, is still limited. This article looks at experiences from previous social innovations and ask what we can learn from them. It elaborates on why social innovation is challenging and what we can do to reduce the risk of failure. The research question is: What risks are at stake in different social innovations, and how can these be prevented? The article highlights risks and issues associated with social or collaborative innovation related to welfare services. It is theoretical and based on innovation theory and previous research, with examples from Norwegian welfare services. The purpose is to explore challenges and risks involved in 4 stereotype versions of social innovation as a result of crossing 2 dimensions of social innovation described above: (a) the degree of novelty and (b) who has initiated the innovation. The article enlightens some aspects of the implementation phase that are important to be aware of if we want to minimize the risk of failure. This concerns the importance of creating a common understanding of the innovation and reflecting on the need for extra resources.

“…bedre og effektivisere tjenestetilbudet har skapt en endrings-og innovasjonsiver innenfor offentlig tjenesteytende sektor». Samtidig påpekes det, om enn litt i parentes, at innovasjon i offentlig sektor er risikofylt og ofte vil mislykkes (Kobro 2018;Sørensen & Aastvedt 2019). Det dreier seg om at utilsiktede virkninger kan vaere vanskelig å forutse.…”

Hvorfor jobber ikke flere utviklingshemmede i arbeidsmarkedstiltaket «Varig tilrettelagt arbeid i ordinær virksomhet» (VTAO)?

Personer med utviklingshemming er i hovedsak ekskludert fra det ordinaere arbeidslivet. I 2006 ble arbeidsmarkedstiltaket Varig tilrettelagt arbeid i ordinaer virksomhet (VTAO) innført for å øke arbeidsdeltakelsen for denne gruppen. Innføringen av VTAO-tiltaket kan ses som en «Top-down»-innovasjon som i dag i liten utstrekning tilbys utviklingshemmede. Med utgangspunkt i intervju med Nav-veiledere diskuteres i artikkelen hvorfor så få personer med utviklingshemming jobber i VTAO-tiltaket. Studien viser at forhold som har betydning for i hvilken utstrekning målsetningen med tiltaket innfris, er knyttet til formidling av målsetningen, tilgjengelige ressurser og Nav-veiledernes holdninger. I diskusjonen anvendes teori om innovasjon i offentlig sektor og implementeringsteori.
