Getting Under the Skin of Government 2.0 - Issues, Insights and Implications
Presentation to the New Media Group, Victorian Government, Melbourne, March 2010, by Martin Stewart-Weeks, Director, Public Sector (Asia-Pacific), Internet Business Solutions Group.
Martin poses 5 questions:
- How do you shift culture and manage change rather than focus just on the technologies?
- What strategies can be employed to shift the mind set of Ministers and their advisers from its present emphasis on controlling and moderating web 2 technologies to an acceptance of its risks along with its advantages?
- How do we get business units to make the RIGHT technology choice rather than the latest/most convenient/ buzz wordiest choice
- How do public servants handle the conflict of needing to be both open and controlled when interacting in web 2.0 spaces?
- Should government build, administer and maintain collaborative/interactive spaces such as forums (with the associated financial burden) or should we be one of many voices on websites with an established audience in order to gather feedback where the people are (depending on who we're targeting)?
