• Design for Government: Human-centric governance through experiments • published in June 2015 proposed a new, quick-to implement model for including
experiments and behavioural approaches into Finnish policy design.
• Design for Government-course (Aalto University) • Three perspectives:
• Evidence-based policy
• Behavioural approaches
• Utilisation of experimentation
à An experimental programme proposed, with research and evidence gathered and evidence validated by experts

Government term 2011-2015
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
1. Innovative solutions and improvements in services
2. The promotion of individual initiative and entrepreneurship
3. Strengthening of regional and local decision-making and cooperation & making use of citizen-driven operating practices
4. Improving foresight capacity and solving social problems’

Government Programme: Goals
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
• The promotion of experimentation • on all levels of administration
• with different actors
• Throughout Finland
- Building culture, platforms and tools
4
The Finnish Model : ”A culture of experimentation will be introduced”
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
• What can be expected from experimenting?
• What kind of experimental setting/method is suitable for a given case?
• Politics of experimentation
5
Experimentation as a political goal: key questions
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
Grassroots level experiments
accelerated to develop better
solutions.
Complicated issues divided into
manageable and monitorable experiments. Well tested,
half done!
Experimental Culture: Top-Down & Bottom-Up

The Triangle Model of Experimental Governance (Laakso, Berg & Annala, 2016)
Our experiences so far - Making It Happen
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
NATIONAL OBJECTIVES • Finland a forerunner for experimental
culture • New solutions and business ideas to
develop society discovered through experiments
• Deregulation and removing of obstacles of successful experiments
Experimental Culture Into Use: Objectives for Concrete Actions and Measures
Strategic actions and measures
open opportunities for smaller scale
local and regional
experiments.
Best results from local and regional
experiments utilised to test on a larger scale
LOCAL AND REGIONAL OBJECTIVES • New local and regional solutions
with potential for scaling up • Citizens and communities get
involved in experiments
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
1) Gathering, producing and spreading knowledge A web-based toolbox, seminars and workshops, research projects
2) Networking Cross-ministerial working group, ”Kokeilukummit”; co-operation projects with e.g. the polytechnics

4) Supporting the implementation of strategic experiments

The Experimental Finland Team
Skills in the team: - Scientific study - ICT - Innovation - Open
Government - Cultural Change
and Leadership
Room to Experiment - The Digital Platform
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
Digital Platform for Experiments • We need a tool for
• Funding small experiments
• Enabling crowdsourcing of resources
• Enable sharing of LESSONS learned
• Enable accelerating good solutions, copying and SCALING UP of what works

The User Can • Create own profile
• Funder, experimenter, facilitator, decision-maker, interested public
• Give input: like, discuss, throw ideas or challenges, share information, etc
• Create an accelerator: channel for sponsorship -> embed to own website
• Search and follow content, also from other websites

Why Get Involved?
17
• Use and development of new platform • Potentially leads to finding new
networks, crowdsource to make your experiment better, makes applying for funding easier
• Profile yourself as an Innovator: make your work and results easily available to others
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
• Discover new funding models • Co-operate closely with others à new
tool for democracy? • Utilise lessons learnt from other
experiments easily
• Look for innovative solutions à can something be borrowed from another context?
• Break down complex issues and fit the potential results of numerous experiments together already at planning stage
18
What Does This Enable?
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
• Best result by crowdsourcing and developing through testing what works • Betaversion 12/2016
• Launch 03/2017
• New components in a quick cycle
• Open source code à Github
• Utilise existing websites, platforms, etc • Eg. Innokylä, digisuomi.fi, etc
19
Timetable of Development
I Valtioneuvoston kanslia I vnk.fi
• Newsletter and website • Blog
• Experts can send material to the toolbox and it is published for wider usage
• Join ”Kokeilukummit” (”Godparents of Experiments”)
• Morning coffee -events and clinics • Events, for example:
• Behavioral Science in Policy Design 26th October 2016
• Speaker at official courses eg. for future leaders in Government

Driver For Cultural Change • Not just a matter of having tools, but of changing mindsets • PMO works to enable experimental culture
• Raise awareness on all levels • Create platforms digital and social • Fix structures and processess which evolve experiments
• Links to numerous other themes like • Innovative procurements, leadership methods,
different types of design, sustainable development, etc
