Abstract
In line with the link between society and the government, focusing on solving issues related to the country's public policies and transforming areas of limitation and confrontation into a scene of progress and synergy, the Policy Lab is trying to support various areas of society and act as an intelligent analysis tool; guide governance from entrepreneurship to innovation, from traditional support to intelligent support, and from technophobia to data-driven advantage, and through this, improve the way governments face the challenges arising from emerging technologies in the present era and its network structure, and make them sensitive and alert to successive developments in various fields. Therefore, considering the importance of executive systems in policy labs in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australia, which determine the executive framework of processes in organizing the lab and cause problem distribution, organizational participation, innovation, and rapid response. In this study, using a comparative study strategy, we examine the requirements of launching policy laboratories in solving policy problems. The results show that the four dimensions of employees, leadership, partnerships and resources and strategy in laboratory laboratory should be taken into consideration.
