“With the new, function-rich
infrastructure of Web 2.0,
government no longer
needs to work on its own
to provide public value.”

“Our generation of public servants strongly
believed and still believes that government
should work for the people, but we did not
really understand that we also needed to
work with the people. The truth is today’s
challenges are too big for government to solve
alone. It is time to re-engage citizens in the
work of government to solve the “wicked”
problems of our times.”

Ordinary people…possess
information – serious, expert,
fact-based, scientific
information – to enhance
decision-making, information not
otherwise available to isolated
bureaucrats.
…people are ready and willing
to share that information
across geographic, disciplinary,
and institutional boundaries.
