HCI patterns are a promising approach for representing solutions for reoccurring design problems in an abstract, machine processable format which can be used to improve the model-based development of user interfaces, while still having a lack of formalization, organization and tool support.
Specialization and formalization in hierarchical organizations can stabilize expectations and behaviours of their members but can also hinder flexible and adaptive governance.

Rio de Janeiro's local government is promoting the organization and formalization of the hundreds of beach vendors that sell drinks, snacks and souvenirs on Rio's beaches.
That is the aim of this study, to empirically test if formalization, by means of formal innovation training, will better prepare public organizations for the challenges to come.
