What conclusions can be drawn from a comparison of the previous chapters regarding the nature of ICT-driven public innovation? After a brief description of the main findings, we conclude that enhancing efficiency is the most important goal or value which lay behind many public innovation projects. We conclude that the public innovation agenda has a rather mechanistic character, which also influences the use and appreciation of ICT. A managerial , and thus internal, perspective prevails. This one-sidedness can be diminished, if ICT-driven public innovations focus on the concrete manifestations of societal problems. An alternative public innovation strategy is elaborated.
