Innovation refers to the phenomenon of creation, introduction of novelties, and recombinations. It is linked to radical changes or incremental reformulations of something already existing. The term has gained significant space in economics studies, but as time has progressed it has inevitably reached the field of law. In this context, this research focuses on delineating an adequate notion of innovation for the Brazilian Public Administration, elaborating its own experimental flow and addressing the perspectives of innovation for public management. It seeks, primarily, to present innovation, experimentalism and its challenges for an innovative management model. Methodologically, the research has a deductive approach, based on bibliographic and documental research techniques. The conclusion is that innovation, for the Public Administration, means creating or recombining services and goods with the aim of conforming to the public interest, observing an adequate experimental flow. The consolidation of an innovative administration also depends on the change of culture in the management and in the control bodies. Finally, there must be investment in research, science and technology, and digital literacy for the collaborative model of management that is demanded by innovation.
