Full Credit to Telstra!

Hi Folks

I sent an email to Telstra providing feedback on their 3Rs of Social Media Engagement

Here is the text of the reply sent by their CEO, David Thodey. We are all learning in this space and it is great to see a large organisation like Telstra expecting policy to evolve and develop as they learn more. This certainly is a great reference for everyone.

Congrats… Continue

Nicholas Gruen on Innovation and Gov 2.0

Hi Folks

Nicholas's comments on this topic are very thought provoking. Visit the Gov 2.0 Taskforce and have a read.

In particular, the reference to web 2.0 tools being used as broadcast tools a la Web 1.0 is very telling. I am interested in this as the mindset that is tending to persist is that these tools are simply channels. Follow that logic and these channels can be… Continue

Social Media can be Fun!

Hi Folks

I could not stop myself! As many of us know there are lots of doubters and blockers out there who just don't to get the Gov 2.0, social media etc thing.

Conceptually this is fantastic at a number of levels. A 5 Star movie. Oh to do a Gov 2.0 version.

Engage: Getting on with Government 2.0: Draft report for comment

Hi Everyone

If you haven't had a chance to comment on the draft report it would be great if you could before the Christmas season hits. Go take a look at what is being posted.

I'm enjoying a spot of leave at the moment and, in between, relaxing am going to so some work on OZloop.

Public Service Culture

Hot on the heals of the Gov 2.0 Taskforce Report the Canberra Times has published a piece indicating the culture of the public service is stifling creativity.

The fact that this message is coming from quite a few sources suggests that this is a real problem. That being said, it has to be acknowledged… Continue

Competencies of Gov 2.0 Leaders

Andrew Krzmarzick has put together a thought provoking presentation on Gov 2.0 Leadership

Given that leadership can reside everywhere, especially in the social media world, I suggest that these ideas are something that apply to us all.

From the horses mouth

Hi fellow OZloopers

A good colleague of mine drew my attention to a submission made to Prime Minister and Cabinet that provides a Gen Y Perspective on the Australian Public Service.

It is very well written indeed and captures how the public service needs to change.

Well worth reading and thinking about.
