“…An ecosystem-based innovation policy diverges from traditional approaches by prioritizing the facilitative role of government over direct steering, and valuing cooperation with the civil society over simple triple-helix models (Perikangas et al, 2023;Rinkinen and Harmaakorpi, 2019). According to Carneiro et al (2023), ecosystem thinking offers public organizations a holistic way to understand system dynamics that mobilize actors and resources for the collaborative creation and implementation of public, social and service innovations generating public value. This requires support from the public sector actors, including tools, methods and initiatives of co-production (Perikangas et al, 2023).…”

“…Later, new technologies, platformization and ecosystem thinking started to penetrate into public sector as well. Examples of this include smart city governance (Ylipulli and Luusua, 2020), governance platforms (Ansell and Miura, 2020) and innovation ecosystems in the public sector (Carneiro et al, 2023). It has been argued that the ecosystem approach better captures the complexities of public service delivery than NPM and conventional network governance associated with NPG, especially in terms of understanding value co-creation (Kinder et al, 2022(Kinder et al, , 2021Osborne et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis article investigates the practical implementation of the ecosystem approach in different branches of public management within an urban context. It explores how ecosystem thinking is introduced, disseminated and applied in a local government organization.Design/methodology/approachWe utilize a qualitative case study methodology, relying on official documents and expert interviews. Our study focuses on the city of Espoo, Finland, which has actively embraced ecosystem thinking as a fundamental framework for its organizational development for almost a decade.FindingsThe case of Espoo highlights elements that have not been commonly attributed to the ecosystem approach in the public sector. These elements include (1) the significance of complementary services, (2) the existence of both collaborative and competitive relationships among actors in public service ecosystems and (3) the utilization of digital platforms for resource orchestration. Our study also emphasizes the need for an incremental adoption of ecosystem thinking in organizational contexts to enable its successful implementation.Originality/valueThe study provides valuable insights into the introduction and dissemination of ecosystem thinking in public management. It also further develops previously developed hypotheses regarding public service ecosystems.
