SMART Execution in the Public Sector
Problem Solver Accelerator for the Public Sector
In 45 days, know what will work for citizens before public money is committed.
Public bodies are expected to justify spending before funding is approved, and to show how the decision was made afterwards. The accelerator gives you both: a problem tested with the people it affects, a working prototype, and a decision record built for governance.
What you get
The Real Problem Defined
A problem statement agreed by service owners, frontline staff and policy leads, and checked against what citizens experience.
A Tested Prototype
A working prototype or pilot, tested with the citizens and staff who will use it.
An Evidence Package
Desirability, feasibility and viability evidence with a clear Go / Pivot / Stop recommendation, ready to support a business case or funding request.
Decision-Ready Assets
A summary and presentation for your management board, sponsoring department or oversight body, with the evidence and reasoning in full.
Why Test First?
Evidence to Stand Over
Citizen-First
Starts from the problem citizens and staff face, not from a solution a supplier has already proposed.
Independent
Outside departmental lines and internal politics, so the recommendation follows the evidence.
Governance-Aware
Works inside public sector governance, procurement and compliance rules, with decisions recorded as they are made.
Small Spend First
Six weeks of testing before a large contract or multi-year programme is committed.
