This chapter discusses the innovation-oriented abilities, skills and competencies of Chile’s public employees and recommends ways that these can be improved through recruitment and development. The definition of innovation skills in the public sector is evolving, and the OECD has developed a framework that identifies six key skills areas: iteration, data literacy, citizen centricity, curiosity, storytelling and insurgency. The assessment suggests that Chile may benefit from development of abilities related to iterative project management and co-creation with citizens. The chapter also underlines that challenges and opportunities for aligning recruitment and development programmes with innovation skills. It underlines the potential of developing and managing crossorganisational mobility programmes as one way of developing and spreading innovation skills across the public sector.
