Innovation is the key to success for our involvement in Gov2.0 initiatives. I was delighted to find the attached link (in a USA Gov2.0 group discusion).

Let’s have an Australian Public Service competition to get Gov 2.0 happening on the ground. Competition is OK

The report of your government that you shared with us is …AWESOME!

Happy Holidays!

Hi Yaron and Andrew

The final report of the Gov 2.0 Taskforce has been released. I have commented on it and provided links on both Govloop and OZloop.

Given the emphasis in the report on the need for changes in organisational culture and practices – and my reference to identifying organisational sacred cows/practices and dispensing with them – I…[Read more]
