Abstract

This article argues for the ‘public service ecosystem’ as an organizing framework through which to appreciate the interactions and integration of the institutional, service, and individual levels in public service delivery. It offers a heuristic (‘Appreciate–Engage–Facilitate’) through which to understand and support the role of public managers in value creation at all levels of such ecosystems.
