title = "Supporting organizational innovation in the public sector: creative councils in England",
abstract = "The development of initiatives to encourage innovation in local government in England evolved during an era as from 1996 in which central government imposed inspection and audit nation-wide. This had its origin in the inspection of local authorities{\textquoteright} education functions, with the first pilot inspection of a local education authority (LEA) in 1996, leading to a rolling program of inspections thereafter that ensured that all LEAs had been inspected by 2001, under Section 36 of the 1997 Education Act. There were similar central government inspections and ratings for local authority provision of adult social care. Although these inspections focused on service standards, they provided the foundations for the development of central government schemes focused specifically on innovation.",
