What’s a community evangelist?

How I got here…

From the benefits officeto Downing Street

in 5 years

(and a blog)

Why this stuff matters

Websites don’t change the world.

People do.

A frankly scary pace of change

"Communications tools don't get socially interesting until they get

technologically boring"

The Long Tail

(something about niches)

"We sold more books today that didn't sell at all yesterday than we sold today of all the books

that did sell yesterday."

Here Comes Everybody

Individualand yetsocial

Infobesity?

“There is no information overload,

only filter failure”

Open source

“Given enough eyeballsall bugs are shallow”

If you don’t do it, someone else will

Local gov needs to start:

ListeningCreatingSharing

What’s this got to do with e-learning?

THIS IS NOT (just) A COMMS THING

Learning works best when it’s social

It’s certainly more fun

Finding (and keeping) your talent

It goes beyondall this, though

Interactive websites need interactive

organisations

The 21st century council?

Should local gov be more like

Apple or Google?

A new relationship between the citizens

and government

Learning Pool can help your council

understand this stuff

Also, there’s money on offer!
