For the week of September 19 - 23, 2011
If you’re involved in public service renewal – or just a curious bystander – here's the run down of stuff you'll want to read and do this week.
To do:
Sign up (as soon as possible!) for an inexpensive (read: $5) opportunity to scheme virtuously and network at: Beyond the Kool-Aid: Open Government? Space is limited and conversation promises to be dynamic. Join experts from Google, other levels of government and Mediastyle to talk Government 2.0; while the ideas have been discussed over and over, for many it feels as if little progress is being made. Where do we go from here?
Join us: Now that school has started we’re gearing up for yet another #w2p mixer, this time with a different twist. Mark your calendars for September 28 where the #w2p community will be mixing it up with the Advanced Leadership Program.
To read:
• The Future of the Federal Workforce: can we apply the cloud model to the PS workforce?
• On cuts: Federal unions launch petition drive to call on Clement to put critical services and the long-term social safety first.
• Junk the jargon, cut the clichés and use plain English – a new tone of voice would help so many public organizations
• The U.S. is having a national dialogue on improving government web sites - and there are loads of fabulous ideas to be found on the site.
Have a great week!
