8:04 pm thomkearney: OK, first question for you David, What do you mean when you say we need a knowledge based government? #govchat
8:05 pm daeaves: Hi everyone checking in on the #govchat
8:06 pm PS_leader: RT @thomkearney: OK, first question for you David, What do you mean when you say we need a knowledge based government? #govchat
8:08 pm rickweiss: Good evening #govchat
8:10 pm daeaves: I mean we need a gov that understands its workers are knowledge workers- they r productive when they can access & share information #govchat
8:11 pm thomkearney: I have heard you speak about something called an "innovation challenge" can you tell us a little about that? #govchat
8:11 pm mjmclean: Evening folks #GovChat
8:11 pm mhellstern: RT @daeaves: I mean we need a gov that understands its workers are knowledge workers- they r productive when they can access & share information #govchat
8:12 pm daeaves: Ah, from a talk I gave to the BC Law Library. #govchat
8:12 pm daeaves: Was challenging them to think of ways to collapse the cost of the services they deliver. That you need solutions that scale cheaply #govchat
8:14 pm thomkearney: What do Public Service folks need to do to help create a government that is knowledge based #govchat
8:14 pm nellleo: RT @daeaves: I mean we need a gov that understands its workers are knowledge workers- they r productive when they can access & share information #govchat
8:15 pm daeaves: Not sure there is one answer. Depends where u are in gov. Senior people need support those working across silos (not punish them). #govchat
8:16 pm daeaves: & Junior people need to be ready to take some risks and push their peers and bosses around using collaborative technologies. #govchat
8:16 pm PS_leader: RT @thomkearney: What do Public Service folks need to do to help create a government that is knowledge based #govchat
8:16 pm thomkearney: @mjmclean thanks for joining us #govChat
8:17 pm rickweiss: When you say "Knowledge based" do you mean government should avoid operations if citizens, nfp or private sector can do it? #govchat
8:17 pm thomkearney: @RickWeiss Welcome to #GovChat
8:19 pm daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:19 pm squideye: RT @daeaves: Not sure there is one answer. Depends where u are in gov. Senior people need support those working across silos (not punish them). #govchat
8:19 pm squideye: RT @daeaves: & Junior people need to be ready to take some risks and push their peers and bosses around using collaborative technologies. #govchat
8:19 pm squideye: RT @daeaves: Was challenging them to think of ways to collapse the cost of the services they deliver. That you need solutions that scale cheaply #govchat
8:19 pm thomkearney: What role and impact do social networking tools have in our migrating to a knowledge based government? #GovChat
8:19 pm squideye: RT @daeaves: I mean we need a gov that understands its workers are knowledge workers- they r productive when they can access & share information #govchat
8:20 pm mjmclean: Q. Struggles around new knowledge pockets (re: open, collaboration etc) that don't reside in traditional places/teams. thoughts? #GovChat
8:21 pm daeaves: Think social networks are essential. Social networks - sans technology - are the grease the enables any org to function effectively #govchat
8:21 pm NaomiDevine: RT @daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:21 pm spydergrrl: RT @daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:22 pm daeaves: Having them digitized seems increases the speed at which they can work. I suspect that in 5 years, running a gov without #govchat
8:22 pm zBeer: RT @daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:22 pm SDKibb: How far behind or ahead is the #GoC PS in terms of social media use as compared to the US, UK or Australia IYO? #govchat
8:22 pm daeaves: ...social media and social networks will be akin to trying to run a government today without email or phones. Possible. But slow #govchat
8:22 pm _jasonp_: just got back home to SD in time for #GovChat.. It takes the collaboration of multiple perspectives: public service, non-profit, citizen
8:23 pm bthakkar: @daeaves Q. Our biggest challenge is to get sr ppl to adopt the new collaborative tools...how do you think we can address that? #govchat
8:24 pm mirgray: RT @daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:24 pm spydergrrl: Or biz in general? RT @SDKibb: How far behind or ahead is the #GoC PS in terms of social media use vs US, UK or Australia IYO? #govchat
8:24 pm daeaves: @rickweiss No, I think the decision of what gov does is independent of the question of knowledge based. #govchat
8:25 pm spydergrrl: I find there's too much talk of SM tools, and not enuf abt strategic collab. Tools scare ppl. Results engage ppl. #govchat
8:25 pm nellleo: Q: wondering if perhaps the shift happening soon w/ exodus of many PSers will naturally help adoption of collaborative mentality? #govchat 1
8:25 pm daeaves: @rickweiss Clearly there are things the private and non-profit sector do better, but informed debate should decide this. #govchat
8:25 pm nellleo: or do we need to start working on newcomers and middle mgmt to make sure they mature into collaborative knowledge workers? #govchat 2
8:25 pm rickweiss: @daeaves Thanks, just wanted to be clear on what was meant by that. #govchat
8:26 pm NaomiDevine: RT @daeaves: ...social media and social networks will be akin to trying to run a government today without email or phones. Possible. But slow #govchat
8:26 pm nellleo: @spydergrrl i think case studies are of immense help. "show don't tell" and going over fears/risks helps anchor some points #govchat
8:26 pm thomkearney: @mjmclean do you mean how to access those pockets of knowledge? #govChat
8:26 pm NaomiDevine: RT @daeaves: Think social networks are essential. Social networks - sans technology - are the grease the enables any org to function effectively #govchat
8:26 pm spydergrrl: RT @nellleo: @spydergrrl i think case studies are of immense help. "show don't tell" and going over fears/risks helps anchor some points #govchat
8:27 pm thomkearney: Are there other countries you see as shining examples of knowledge based government in action and can you give some examples? #GovChat
8:27 pm spydergrrl: @nellleo Indeed. Teach 'em to fish. #govchat
8:27 pm yaaintseenothin: RT @daeaves: Think social networks are essential. Social networks - sans technology - are the grease the enables any org to function effectively #govchat
8:28 pm TheFireTracker2: RT @daeaves: ...social media and social networks will be akin to trying to run a government today without email or phones. Possible. But slow #govchat
8:28 pm daeaves: I think we're at an early stage. Some govs, particularly smaller govs, are going to be at an advantage if they want 2 move quickly #govchat
8:28 pm mjmclean: Is gov prepared for the collaboration wave coming - and it is? Are we doing enough groudwork now? #IM #KM #GovChat
8:29 pm mirgray: @spydergrrl #GoC #govchat Surely it isn't monolithic. Good pockets of SM usage and dead zones.
8:29 pm TheFireTracker2: RT @daeaves: I think we're at an early stage. Some govs, particularly smaller govs, are going to be at an advantage if they want 2 move quickly #govchat
8:29 pm daeaves: What we are seeing are pockets of early success in lots of places. Open data, some gov wikis in agencies like the State Dept #govchat
8:30 pm spydergrrl: @daeaves Aren't we ahead of the curve? Only 5% of pop'n uses Twitter and co's still trying to figure out SM. Don't we have time? #govchat
8:30 pm daeaves: But a definitive answer of a government that is getting it right... I haven't seen the whole package yet. #govchat
8:30 pm SDKibb: Tru.Dat. RT: @spydergrrl:I find there's 2 much talk of SM tools, not enuf abt strategic collab. Tools scare ppl. Results engage ppl #govchat
8:30 pm mirgray: @nellleo #govchat But Canada is a old population. Won't this take too long? Compare with average age in say Egypt.
8:30 pm spydergrrl: RT @mjmclean: Is gov prepared for the collaboration wave coming - and it is? Are we doing enough groudwork now? #IM #KM #GovChat
8:32 pm rickweiss: Focus on tools also leads to wanting to do the same old thing with whatever's new and shiny - not use them to enable collaboration. #govchat
8:32 pm daeaves: @sdkibb But what is interesting is that citizens won't be comparing their govs to other govs (who interacts with another gov) #govchat
8:33 pm daeaves: @sdkibb They'll be comparing the gov to other organizations, companies, non-profits, advocacy groups, etc... #govchat
8:34 pm nellleo: @mjmclean is the wave coming or has it already started and we're now seeing major tides? i would think email was 1st point of wave #govchat
8:35 pm daeaves: @spydergrrl Well, I'm not so sure. Certainly there needs to be more experimentation. But SM isn't about twitter. It's about... #govchat
8:35 pm ryanresella: #Govchat is going on right now featuring @deaves - we miss you around here at Code for America!
8:35 pm thomkearney: RT @daeaves: @SDKibb I'd say we are lumped in with most governments, tentatively exploring. #govchat
8:35 pm pdauphin: How do we develop SM policies that stay away from the Don't do and into the Try this mode. Our biz plans are about what we'll do #govchat
8:35 pm DeborahOMalley: #govchat @daeaves What's the best way to use open data to promote a government knowledge base?
8:36 pm daeaves: @spydergrrl a range of technologies. Most Canadians read blogs, many blog and this is all 10+ years old... #govchat
8:36 pm thomkearney: RT @mjmclean: @thomkearney or how can gov recognize we may need to tap into more horizontal networks rather than one team? #govchat
8:37 pm daeaves: @spydergrrl ...and still lots of work to do on that front. Indeed, I'd love to see gov blog half as effectively as google. #govchat
8:37 pm PS_leader: Just a heads up to ensure to please include hashtag #GovChat in your tweets otherwise we can't see your question! Cheers!
8:37 pm mirgray: @daeaves #govchat Immigrants, travellors, tourists, to name a few. And citizens move between jurisdictions.
8:37 pm spydergrrl: True RT @daeaves: ...and still lots of work to do on that front. Indeed, I'd love to see gov blog half as effectively as google. #govchat
8:37 pm rickweiss: I think a risk for jr PSers delving into SM is and collaboration is that mid/sr will feel left out and threatened. #govchat
8:38 pm mjmclean: 3 key position 'titles' or knowledge/skill sets you see departments needing to put open data strategies in place? #GovChat
8:38 pm rmashate: @daeaves @sdkibb would this mean that gov offices become leaner as a consequence? both out of austerity and other service models #govchat
8:38 pm rickweiss: The Federal Youth Network in the #goc is piloting a "reverse mentoring" program to help introduce Sr folks to SM and collaboration #govchat
8:39 pm daeaves: @bthakkar GReat question. We need to push vendors to ensure these tools have a management function. THe challenge is that... #govchat
8:39 pm daeaves: @bthakkar these tools break down silos, but that makes traditional mgmt harder, so we need to show sr people how these tools... #govchat
8:39 pm thomkearney: @feeny_d yes we are having a good time with @daeaves on #govchat. Trying to get to all the questions.
8:40 pm _jasonp_: PublicService people: what are you trying to do? Start with why before how. Think of an interesting problem as a starting point #GovChat
8:40 pm daeaves: @bthakkar ...can enhance their ability to manage people and provide them with situational awareness of their group. #govchat
8:41 pm daeaves: RT @mirgray: @spydergrrl #GoC #govchat Surely it isn't monolithic. Good pockets of SM usage and dead zones.
8:42 pm nellleo: yep!RT @daeaves: The tough part is many junior people see value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:42 pm PS_leader: RT @spydergrrl: True RT @daeaves: ...and still lots of work to do on that front. Indeed, I'd love to see gov blog half as effectively as google. #govchat
8:42 pm PS_leader: RT @rickweiss: I think a risk for jr PSers delving into SM is and collaboration is that mid/sr will feel left out and threatened. #govchat
8:43 pm daeaves: @Nelleo I don't think we can simply write off the people who aren't persuaded. (Nor can we let them have a veto). #govchat
8:43 pm daeaves: @Nelleo Yes, a certain number of people will never be on board. But to reduce this to a generational divide is too simplistic #govchat
8:44 pm daeaves: @Nelleo There are reasons why middle level people are nervous about this, and that isn't likely to change for at least 10 years. #govchat
8:44 pm ralphmercer: mainstreaming the collaborative underground is important, but showing how the new product is better than current is more important. #govchat
8:44 pm daeaves: @Nelleo So we will need a strategy: 1) Educate & 2) Enhance the mgmt capacity of the tool #govchat
8:44 pm gschaadt: Our exp - Sr Mgrs aren't that resistant overall. Biggest pockets of resist to new collab tools is in the IT groups. Agree/Dis? #govchat
8:44 pm thomkearney: @rickweiss interesting Is there a link you can post with more info on the Youth Network Initaitive? #govChat
8:45 pm mirgray: @daeaves #govchat Educate or seduce?
8:45 pm daeaves: @mjmclean No. #govchat
8:45 pm PS_leader: Once social networking usage pervasive a simple social graph will indicate the key people as well as where hot & dead zones are! #GovChat
8:46 pm daeaves: @mjmclean I'm very worried that things will have to really break before things can get better. My hope is that isn't the case #govchat.
8:46 pm spydergrrl: @gschaadt my exp is that IT depts oft caught btwn internal grps on diff tools & platforms. No standards = no internal collab poss #govchat
8:47 pm pdauphin: Need to experiment a lot. Many practices will disappear and others will take hold. Can't do that if everything decreed frm start #govchat
8:47 pm Stv: @daeaves do you mean push around like a wheelchair or like a bully? #govchat
8:48 pm DeborahOMalley: @daeaves What's the best way to use open data to promote a government knowledge base? #govchat
8:48 pm rickweiss: @thomkearney It's on GCpedia. I can send you a link from the office. Might be some info on LinkedIn as well, but I can't find it. #govChat
8:48 pm daeaves: RT @ralphmercer: mainstreaming the collaborative underground is important, but showing how the new product is better than current is more important. #govchat
8:49 pm nellleo: @daeaves & perhaps 3) build in measurement/evaluation, and tie it into performances to demonstrate benefit? *ps.3 Ls in my name ;) #govchat
8:50 pm trevorlynn: RT @PS_leader: Once social networking usage pervasive a simple social graph will indicate the key people as well as where hot & dead zones are! #GovChat
8:50 pm douglascariou: MT roomful of laptops,& "try This"! @pdauphin: How to develop SM policies that stay away from "Don't do" & into the Try this mode. #govchat
8:51 pm rickweiss: @gschaadt I agree that there is a perceived power loss when web tools (viewed as IT domain) are made open. #govchat
8:52 pm daeaves: @mjmclean Need: 1) Corp Data Manager (report to CIO), 2) External liaison (to engage with data users), & 3) lawyer who "gets it" #govchat
8:52 pm PS_leader: RT @daeaves: The tough part is that many junior people see the value & use collaborative tools, the key is making sr people comfortable. #govchat
8:54 pm PS_leader: RT @rickweiss: @gschaadt I agree that there is a perceived power loss when web tools (viewed as IT domain) are made open. #govchat
8:55 pm mjmclean: @daeaves the magic elixir - thanks! #GovChat
8:55 pm daeaves: @rmashate Definitely. The whole point is to make gov more productive, efficient and effective. Hopefully... #govchat
8:55 pm ralphmercer: @daeaves @mjmclean hard to show how the addition of more tools to process will give managers an advantage #GovChat
8:56 pm PS_leader: David, What do you see as the potential dangers of open data/social networking and how can we mitigate them? #GovChat
8:56 pm pdauphin: @rickweiss Here's the LinkedIn discussion http://linkd.in/eIqgoC . U have 2 b member of GC Group #govchat
8:56 pm daeaves: @rmashate ...that means fewer people doing the current work. But maybe there is lots more work 2 b done. Up to the politicians #govchat
8:56 pm spydergrrl: @thomkearney @nellleo @gschaadt right and conflicting platform/ tool requests reduces IT's ability to just focus & deliver #govchat
8:56 pm thomkearney: RT @craigthomler: eGovAU: What is muting Australian public servants online? http://bit.ly/eK8u3b #gov2au #govchat
8:56 pm rickweiss: @gschaadt but also consider, one function of IT is to keep data safe. Open data is contrary traditional methods of protecting data. #govchat
8:56 pm douglascariou: MT Agreed @pdauphin:Need 2 experiment...Many practices will disappear&others wd take hold.Can't do that if everything decreed #govchat
8:57 pm rickweiss: @gschaadt i.e. the fewer people who can access the data, the safer it is. #govchat
8:57 pm trevorlynn: I'm not so sure most government protocols and procedures are modern or fast enough to keep up with social media #govchat
8:57 pm trevorlynn: RT @thomkearney: RT @craigthomler: eGovAU: What is muting Australian public servants online? http://bit.ly/eK8u3b #gov2au #govchat
8:58 pm nellleo: @daeaves true.. ex. less phone operators to answer Qs about web content, more "chat operators" / comment moderators. @rmashate #govchat
8:58 pm PS_leader: RT @ralphmercer: @daeaves @mjmclean hard to show how the addition of more tools to process will give managers an advantage #GovChat
8:59 pm daeaves: @deborahomalley Great question. Open data increases the supply of data and information, supporting knowledge workers in their task #govchat
9:00 pm mjmclean: @ralphmercer more can mean better or less of others. I'm a manager and seeing it - needed to understand working differently. #GovChat
9:00 pm daeaves: @deborahomalley Given every opendata portal mgr I talk to says public servants r biggest users of #opendata this is critical #govchat
9:00 pm gschaadt: There you go @rickweiss - that's the shoe I've been waiting to drop. Which circles us back to the open gov discussion.... #govchat
9:01 pm daeaves: @ps_leader The danger is it will expose the disfunctions already present. Social media tends to amplify what is already present #govchat
9:02 pm daeaves: @ps_leader So organizations are going to have to become more effective at engage employees and managing differences... #govchat
9:02 pm mjmclean: RT @thomkearney: RT @craigthomler: eGovAU: What is muting Australian public servants online? http://bit.ly/eK8u3b #gov2au #govchat
9:03 pm daeaves: @ps_leader But importantly these dangers are already present. So I'm not sure they are new, just more often ignored. #govchat
9:03 pm thomkearney: We are into over time. David we have thoroughly enjoyed your insights into this evolution towards a knowledge based government #GovChat
9:03 pm thomkearney: Thank you all 4 joining us! Your participation & feedback has been overwhelming. AND SPECIAL thanks to David Eaves @daeaves #GovChat
9:03 pm rmashate: @nellleo @daeaves interesting. in terms of service delivery scale could be shared thru crowd-sourcing data/open APIs. APIs are key #govchat
9:03 pm thomkearney: Join us in four weeks for the next #GovChat on Wed, April 6, at 8:00 pm EST #GovChat
9:03 pm thomkearney: Feel free to make suggestions on future SPECIAL guests and topics @thomkearney #GovChat
9:03 pm toddkennedy: It is not up to IT Depts to make use of collaboration tools. It needs to be a partnership with senior business leaders. #govchat
