- 4. Engagement and the Digital Revolution
- 5. Engagement Many people may care about your cause but reaching them via conventional media is difficult and expensive.
- 6. Engagement Engagement is Relationship + Action Action is what we want i.e. participation, support, donations, sponsorship campaigns, shopping, subscriptions.... Action depends on relationship Digital media reduces cost and increases capacity for relationship (and therefore action)
- 7. Engagement A few weeks ago I saw a TV programme about the English National Ballet I went on their website and signed up for their e-mail list
- 9. Engagement This feels like a perfect example of digital engagement English National Ballet has gone from nothing to being able to ask me for £150 The cost to them is almost nothing Everyone who buys a ticket via this e-mail contributes £150 and self-identifies as a potential top-tier supporter Even if I don’t sign up, I have a positive experience - it’s always nice to be asked to a party
- 10. The Digital Revolution Anyone who has any doubts about the importance of digital media should review the following chart
- 12. Case Study: Kidney Patient Guide
- 13. Kidney Patient Guide Renal failure is essentially incurable Treatment (dialysis) is enormously expensive Patients do not feel direct benefit from medications and self-management Patients who are better informed do better with self- management and have better outcomes (and are less expensive to support)
- 14. Kidney Patient Guide Initially funded by Wellcome Trust to look at medical animation for patient information User base was a renal clinic in Wrexham Scope quickly expanded to cover all aspects of patient experience Project launched 1999
- 18. Kidney Patient Guide Project always included an element of social media - a bulletin board Community carefully curated at start by project team including clinician Now essentially self-managing Volunteer moderators Technical and admin assistance from Cogapp

- 29. Case Study: ICONS of England
- 30. ICONS of England Campaign of public engagement funded by Culture Online Asking the question: What are the icons of England in the 21st century ? Wider purpose was to get people to engage with public culture
- 34. ICONS of England Launch based on an old-fashioned PR campaign On the day (6 Jan 2007) we had coverage in every national newspaper except the FT Worldwide coverage included the Hindustan Times and the Chicago Tribune The New Zealand prime minister gave us a mention The Sun nominated their own Icons: including Jordan’s boobs, Chicken Tikka Masala, St George’s Cross, Blackpool Tower, Chips and 12 pints of lager
- 36. ICONS of England ICONS was ambushed by the fox hunting lobby We managed our way to an honourable draw

- 60. Five Principles 1. Be engaging 2. Be engaged 3. Be authentic 4. Be agile 5. Be serious
- 61. Principle 1: Be engaging Put users/customers/community at the heart of all your work Go where they are and engage with them there Take the virtual into the real and vice versa Partner with related organisations to reach their communities Good content, usability and hygiene are key
- 62. Principle 2: Be Engaged The next challenge for organisations is to operationalise digital media Develop computer literacy throughout the organisation No-one is (fully) computer literate - we’re all learning Join, attend, train, evangelise Most of all... take part
- 63. Principle 3: Be Authentic Don’t pretend to be something you are not Stand for something and speak from the heart People respond to your sense of seriousness and purpose
- 64. Principle 4: Be Agile Throw spaghetti at the wall When it sticks you know you’re on to something - invest in that Use the method of ‘Lean Start-Ups’ Do ‘customer development’ as well as ‘product development’ NB: Good infrastructure is a pre-condition for agility (staff, management, systems, content assets)
- 65. Principle 5: Be Serious These are hard times and your costs are certain Make sure that the value you create is also certain Value is only real if it matters to your decision makers Establish, create and measure value
