2. tinkering with new tools
3. listening to the crowd
4. responding and collaborating
1. understanding the context
the public sector is evolving
1. 20th century administrative bureaucracy
2. new public management - performance
3. triple bottom line - shareholders and stakeholders
4. co-productive, shared enterprise
read-onlyrigid, prescriptive, hierarchical
read-writeagile, principled, collaborative
citizen expectations are changing
3 types of expectations - Charlie Leadbeater
• I need – essential services government must provide
• I want – discretionary services responding to demand
• I can – option to self select, participate, co-produce
why now?
• Internet 1.0 – low or no cost production and distribution
• netizens 1.0 – surplus computing and doing capacity
• web 2.0 - new tools, behaviours, expectations
the Internet has something to do with it
compact yet immense, a ‘small world’
• 10x growth adds ‘one hop’
• growth is organic and ad hoc
power law distribution mostly below and above the mean•few with many links•many with few links
In Search of Jefferson’s Moose - David G. Post
power law distribution mostly below and above mean• few with many links• many with few links
what does this mean for government?
a new approach
• share (not cede) power, when and where appropriate
• maintain authority in old and new models
• government as a platform, providing a citizen ‘API’
key components
• culture of experimentation and collaboration
• open access to public sector data and information
• voice of authenticity, uncertainty and contestability
2. tinkering with the tools
supporting a culture of collaboration internally
• Justice portfolio employs over 21,000 staff
• police and prosecution, courts, prison and corrections services, tribunals and agencies
• protecting citizen rights, emergency services, racing and gaming policy and legal advice to government
using social media externally to support existing role in community and establish trusted, authentic presence on new platforms
sharing information to reduce costs, build trust and confirm public safety objectives
using social media to target alcohol related violence by encouraging user input and content creation
2. listening to the crowd
