Heretics free us
Social media - You are not alone

We are not alone

The problemAgencies are trapped
Citizens are uncertain
Employees are uncertain
Fear and doubt are rife
Spin is endemic
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
Agency & CommunityCitizens are engaging already
Public servants are not
Perceived powerlessness rules
Citizens are cynical
So there is a chasm to cross

Corporate listening
Fight the FUDS
Enlighten corporate areas
Inspire leadership
Harness heretics
Organisational comfort
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
Building competenceIndividuals are - sort of
Agencies are not
Build the groundswell
Greater depth
Another chasm to cross
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
Organisational cultureCurrent approach is hierarchical
Behaviouralism rules
Bolstered by managerialism
Rightly viewed with cynicism
Yet another chasm
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
Beyond culturePeople build culture
Intuition works
Organisations are social
People talk
Social media rocks
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
So where are we?We have a vision
We have a map
We have smart tools
We don’t have a market
So we don’t have passengers
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
Crossing the chasmsAllow direct engagement
Rise of the heretics
Allow unstructured engagement
Democratise culture change
Establish a social ecology
Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010
And if we don’t?Loss of trust
Disengagement
Mediocrity
Declining ability to deliver
A dark age public service
