knowledge enhanced government - online communities trailblazer from a decade ago
DESCRIPTION
10 years ago, I was the UK Government's Director of Knowledge Enhanced Government. We successfully introduced the most advanced government knowledge management system and programme to date, but the real promise came from our emerging programme "Enabling Communities" - looking back a decade later, it's clear our thinking was prescient, but we were hidebound by the lack of adequate social media tools and broadband infrastructure. Social Media practitioners looking to develop communities today might find this early example of promoting online communities of some interest or a salutory leasson!

In the beginning...
Why can’t we talk toeach other?

Nirvana?...
Now we can we talk toeach other!
Why aren’t we talking toeach other!

Meanwhile somewhere else...
Why can’t we talk toeach other?

What’s going on?
• The technology is crucial...
• Inter-operability is crucial…
• But they are only means to an end - not the end in itself….
• The standards are crucial…
• We need to turn technical potential into real living change

Before the Knowledge Network
Isolated departments
Little knowledge potential
No unified knowledge
network
![Page 10: Knowledge Enhanced Government - online communities trailblazer from a decade ago](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546609a5af7959642f8b56b9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Within 23 months…
Solutions delivered for
every department
Growing knowledge potential
Unified knowledge
network
Emerging inter-
departmental communities

What are the drivers?
• The IT is secondary to getting the business and human process right
• Different audiences, different needs - but largely the same information…
• Each audience and each delivery reinforces the overall project...
• Getting the right information and knowledge to the right people at their convenience is the key…

‘Enabling communities’
“There is a growing recognition that knowledge coheres in networks and communities. Therefore a common knowledge-based project is finding these groups and letting others know of their existence. "
Prusak 2000

Best of all when the users
sing your praises...
“Rather than rifling through literally hundreds of bits of paper, we can just
tap in a word and wait for the system to pull up the relevant information”
HOME OFFICE
“I no longer have to search an internal directory to find out who is responsible for a specific dossier and then phone
them to ask for the latest state of play. I simply look it up on KN”
DEFRA
“The DWP system has transformed the way in which we respond to Ministers’
requests for policy briefing. It has enabled part time members of staff to
respond far more effectively than would have been the case before”
DWP
“It saves me time and saves time for policy officials. It is especially
useful when working out of hours or to tight deadlines. I don’t know how
I coped without it!”DTI Ministerial speechwriter
