THE CHALLENGES OF GOVERNANCE





Detect and understand problems before they become
unsolvable”
Involve open intelligence in policy-making, and extract “good
ideas” from it
From words to action: ensure implementation and actual
behavioural change
Reduce time-to-impact evaluation


All this, dealing with a distributed governance
model. The traditional division of “market” and
“state” no longer fits a reality where public decision
and action is effectively carried out by a plurality of
actors.

WHY
6 THINGS CITIZENS CAN OFFER
Software development skills (OpenCamera)
 Specific technical knowledge (PeerToPatent)
 Experience of using public services (PatientOpinion)
 Trust of other citizens (ActiveMobs)
 Capillar coverage of the territory (Fixmystreet)
 “Many eyes” (openspending)

REMINDER: CITIZENS AND EMPLOYEES DO IT
ANYWAY

POLICY TOOLS RELEVANT FOR POLICY CHALLENGES
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DARK SIDE
DESIGN FOR BART NOT FOR LISA!

Hat tip: Carter and Dance, Nytimes.com

NON-TECH BARRIERS
Learning lessons from 20 years of technology adoption
in government: bottlenecks are cultural and
organisational, not technological
 Technology will not suddenly free policy-making from
politicking, corruption, personal interests, short term
thinking, low interest from citizens…
 But it changes the power relationships, the incentives
and the barriers to entry

SPAM, CONFLICTS AND TROLLING

High relevance

Recommended for
short term

Recommended for
long term

Low relevance

Typical gov initiative

Typical internet focus

Low conflict

High conflict
HOW
LESSONS LEARNT








“There are more smart people outside government than
within it” (Bill Joy)
“A problem shared is a problem halved ...and a pressure
group created” (Paul Hodgkin – PatientOpinion.com)
“it’s about pressure points, chinks in the armour where
improvements might be possible, whether with the
consent of government or not” (Tom Steinberg,
Mysociety.org)
“many participants in the process dilute the effect of bad
apples or unconstructive participants” (Beth Noveck,
Peertopatent.org)

THE 7 STEPS TO SUCCESS!

THE GAMIFICATION OF POLICY MAKING


Feedback + Friends + Fun
http://daa.ec.europa.eu/gr
oup/2/content

IT’S NOT JUST “ TWO-WAY” CONVERSATION


Many-to-many drives participation and action
http://daa.ec.europa.eu/conten
t/special/crowdsourcing

IT’S NOT ABOUT DIRECT DEMOCRACY


It’s about letting good ideas emerge and bad ideas be
revealed
http://daa.ec.europa.eu/content/spec
ial/towards-european-strategy-webentrepreneurs

IT’S NOT ABOUT “ TOTAL OPENNESS NOW”


A continuous trend: opening up earlier, and at more granular level
IT’S NOT ABOUT “ TOTAL CITIZENS”


Not representative but insightful
A REALITY CHECK: EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF
POLICY 2.0
CRITERIA
 Number of participants
 Involvement of decision makers
 Actual usage of the output in policy-making
 Media impact
 Feedback by policy-makers
 Actual improvement of policy quality
FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Do no harm
 Enable
 Experiment
 Manage expectations
 Track and evaluate

PRACTICE
TOOLS
Sentiment analysis (sentiment viz)
 Commentable documents (commentneelie.eu)
 Ideastorms (uservoice)
 Crowdsourcing (challenge.gov)
 Visualisation (openspending)
 Mapping (ushahidi)
 Open data (FP7 recipients)




Delivery model: custom vs off the shelf, installed vs as a
service; open source vs proprietary
DESIGN TOOLS
Friend (using social networks and peer pressure)
 Feedback (seeing the impact of your action immediately):
daa.ec.europa.eu
 Competition (light but deep): challenge.gov
 Moderation (ex-post vs ex-ante): patientopinion
 Identity (anonimity?) : evasori.info
 Reputation : DAA “interesting” daa.ec.europa.eu
 Rules (transparency about what is accepted and what is
not; how will the outcome be used) : Italy Digital Agenda
 Reach-out to the community : sicamp.org




For both government and citizens!
