IdealGov and thinkpublic invite you to MIND THE GAP

IdealGov and thinkpublic invite you to MindtheGap, with a new competition which will ease frustration, unleash creativity and express collectively how public services could be better. I hope that MindtheGap will make real the IdealGov theme of Wibbipedia (collection of “wouldn’t it be better if..."s). Meanwhile Debs at thinkpublic is working on TheRealWorkExperience, a project to attract design graduates into public services work where - heaven knows - they are sorely needed. Hence the collaboration.

Details below, but the basic idea is you observe a public service, describe how it could be better, help construct a Wibbipedia and create a culture of better designed public services and win a few prizes along the way.

Tell your friends! Tell anyone who ever complains about a public service! Tell anyone who ever has an idea about how a public service could be better! Do take part, and enjoy. We look forward to hearing from you.

UPDATE: the entry form is here.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
