Bang. That makes a hat-trick of Ideal-Government agenda nails hit on the head by Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition this week. Liam Maxwell’s CPS pamphlet ‘It’s ours – Why we, not government, must own our data” is a must-read. And a tonic.

A distinguished Twitterer points out that the link to the original IdealGov presentation I did in Nov 2004 to Ian Watmore, then UK government CIO, is broken. So I’ve dusted down an old PC, found the original, and put it up on Slideshare: IdealGov ideas for Gov CIO Nov 2004 View more presentations from William […]

reposted from williamheath.net: Following the example of the Iranian football team the Twitterverse is turning green. What do the Mullahs make of that I wonder? Tweeting against fundamentalism and old-fashioned cockocracy. When I went into the sector in 1982 nobody told me that mixing government and IT would end up with a global community tickling […]

Debategraph translated our mindmap of the redacted transparency proposals into the interactive Debategraph. In this format, the different proposals are rateable, addressable, […]

Over at Ctrl-Shift Ive tried to sketch out the impact of VRM (buyer-centric commerce, customer-managed relationships, user-driven identity) on public services: It seems to me the effects of VRM on public services will be of four sorts. It will improve public services. It will cut costs. It will de-tox the “database state”. And it is […]

Correspondence on the private (except when leaked to Ministers) FIPR list has just come up with a massive Wibbi, which I’ll try to restate in my own words. This isn’t my idea, and restates something early explored by Bruce Sterling in The Hacker Crackdown. Problem is that government, simply by being clunky, arrogant, introspective and […]
