It's a shift with many facets but shares values and practices (based in hacker and net culture) across domains.<br /><br />-Neal Gorenflo<br />Shareable MagazineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-42839484221242393012011-09-15T22:58:52.302-07:002011-09-15T22:58:52.302-07:00Lucy - have you come across http://collaborativeco...Lucy - have you come across http://collaborativeconsumption.com/<br /><br />Rachel Botsman (sp?) is on twitter and tweets on these issues all the time<br />Cheers<br />KarlKarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849046687303623512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-17232079403267075732011-09-15T18:21:06.808-07:002011-09-15T18:21:06.808-07:00please delete the two duplicates!

The first has a primary focus on technology, data, accountability, transparency and open source. Open Gov goes further and focuses on organizational and service delivery design or re-design, collaboration, leadership, involving the user and systemic change.<br /><br />I'm working on the emerging field of design thinking in the public sector with Christian Bason of MindLab in Denmark. Here is a recent request we sent out:<br /><br />I am conducting a global scan of trends and concrete cases using design thinking/service design within public organizations. The scan is carried out on behalf of the London School of Economics (LSE) in London, professor Patrick Dunleavy and his research team, who are publishing a new book on the application of design in government. <br /><br />By design approaches we mean the use of methods such as design (or ethnographic) research, graphics, visualisation, models, prototypes, rapid iteration, ideation and concept development. <br /><br />It's important these cases have consciously used these types of methods, used the words design, have been purposeful about keeping the end-user in mind, have co-created, co-designed and prototyped to get to the best results. <br /><br />Typically this would have been in the form of distinct projects, with the assistance of external design consultancies, such as IDEO, or internal design or innovation resources. <br /><br />I am working on this project as a Research Associate for Christian Bason, who is Director of MindLab, a government-run innovation unit in Denmark. Christian is the author of numerous books on innovation and design in public services, and has been invited by the LSE to write a chapter on non-UK examples of design in government. <br /><br />We have a pretty good handle on cases in the UK, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand. We are very interested in finding cases in the United States, South America, Africa and Asia. <br /><br />Christian and I have to deliver a script within a couple of weeks, so your help on this would be fantastic. Do you know of any cases using these methods which you think would fit our criteria? I know our turnaround time is short. <br /><br />I hope this interests you and may fit into your set of questions. There are some questions about using design in the public sector as an economic intervention. Of course better designed systems would save money and increase efficiency.

The lines between nonprofit, government, and markets will continue to blur. And like the middle class, the nonprofits in the middle may shrink - though countered by shrinking availability of government services. Since nonprofits have the smallest pot of money and more restrictive legal activities, they will suffer more than the other two areas.<br /><br />However, to your question of the poor: they should end up being helped. Imagine what they can do with a cellphone and the methods they can use to find services offered from any of the sectors that were previously unavailable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413977065281718573noreply@blogger.com
