Overview

• Gov 1.0

• Gov 2.0 – Where do we stand

• An Australian Government revolution

• The revolution will be tweeted

• It’s our data give it to us


Open Source and UGC – in Victorian Government


Traffic Camera Mashup


Government and Industry Collaboration


Using xml Standards


A platform for innovation


The Revolution will be tweeted


#Hashtags vs Task Force


So what is the problem

• The real problem is that few governments take a systemic view of the innovation process – Bill Eggers, Deloitte Research

• The alibis

– We can’t because we are government

– The front page of the Herald Sun

– We don’t have the budget

– We can’t take risks

– We have a rigorous process we must follow

20th Century Style


The map of the internet … a self organising system


Why is it so hard for government?

• 21st Century collaboration is an alien culture:

• Who owns it?

• Who is in control?

• What are the deliverables?

• How much will we make?

• What happens if someone says something bad/wrong etc?

• Who does …… ?

• Who approves?


Ask People


Ask the community … also borrow these ideas there are some great ones


Give us our data .. We use it better than you do


Go on .. Give it over


Open is better than closed


Open data = new opportunities


Participative Government


Self Organised Communities


Move faster than you


Conclusion

• Embrace, Lead and Learn

• Unblock social tools in government

• Give us the data

• Take our input

• The future is ambiguous – a river not a railway track

• Let us do the innovation for you
