I thought I would make a comment here as possibly the only Aussie looking at this post (come on other Aussies make a “liar” of me).
First I agree with one of the simple posts on your member page “106 slides. Wow”
This is a life story. Be careful that you do not fall into the “Death by PowerPoint” syndrome.

I prefer a simple approach, five slides…[Read more]

Enjoyed your forecasts (and it is not easy to use a crystal ball, let alone interpret what you see!).
Well done.
One comment that needs expressing (for discussion) from your post and Cris’ comment here is that we need to separate the technology from the philosophical debate (of community engagement etc).
I would like to see us continue to…[Read more]

I think we might be gettting a bit confused by terminology here.
Surely the ultimate goal is to “deliver appropriate, required services” to our customers (community).
The term Customer Service tends to be used to describe the interaction we have with our customers (hence the customer service front desk etc).

I love your honesty and that will help in PM.

As an Australian we do not celebrate (or have a day off for) Columbus Day. We had our Labour Day holiday last week (Monday) so it seems we are in tune with Canada. Today I will be working hard on Community Engagement and Asset Management, to ensure our community has a better place in which to live.
I wish all my American friends and colleague -…[Read more]

I think this discussion is well and truly completed. 100+ for to 1 against private management. As an interested Aussie, I hope Gov 2.0 leads to open government and not secret, clandestine meetings.

Seems to be a problem with the extensions on the gov20australia site. Try;

Good stuff, but it seems that no-one apart from me is interested? You posted this 21 July and I am the first to comment having just found the site (today) and joined and commented in one fell swoop! Let’s see if we can get some more interest generated and more people (with good content) involved. Keep in touch. Darron Passlow
