        • Social Media surgeries
        • BeVocal.org.uk
        • Project progress and issues
    6. Birmingham Open City
      • “ Here's a few ideas - lots more.”
      • “ The Open City Plan is a Web2.0 approach to generating collaboration, discussion, creativity, debate, data mashups and open source tools to enable the people of Birmingham to answer one question: "What do I want the city to be like in 25 years?"
      • Stef Lewandowski – 4iP application
    7.  
    8. Birmingham Open City
      • “ The problem is, that no matter what the Council do to try to communicate what is happening as part of the [Big City Plan] process, they are limited by their own requirements, party political fighting, out of date communication policies and structures.”
      • Stef Lewandowski – 4iP application
    9. Social Media Surgeries
    10. Timely Information
      • social media spirit + mash-up culture =
      • Who knows but could be good!
    11. Clay Shirky – Cognitive Surplus
      • “ Desperate Housewives essentially functioned as a kind of cognitive heat sink, dissipating thinking that might otherwise have built up and caused society to overheat”
    12. Clay Shirky – Cognitive Surplus
      • “ Someone working alone, with really cheap tools, has a reasonable hope of carving out enough of the cognitive surplus, enough of the desire to participate, enough of the collective goodwill of the citizens, to create a resource you couldn't have imagined existing even five years ago.”
    13.  
    14. Timely Information
      • social media spirit + mash-up culture + cognitive surplus =

    18.  
    19. How the project works
      • Social Media Surgeries – identify citizens’ concerns (+ capital equipment)
      • Source some data
      • Find clever people to help mash it up (or whatever)

    26. The issues (not insurmountable)
      • Citizens: some are too far behind the curve.
      • Data: Too much hugging. OS issues.
    27. A digital economy opportunity:
      • Cognitive surplus + Raw Data =
      • new and exciting area of the digital economy
      • Power of Information
      • Power of Birmingham group
      • Public sector meets active citizenship
      • Push to free up data
    28. Digital Participation
      • “ Increased awareness would lead to more people engaging in digital participation. Building awareness of what it is possible to do quickly and easily online could encourage greater participation.”
      • (Ofcom Citizen Participation research)
    29. Summary – this project
      • Birmingham – vibrant scene to make this happen
      • Data – still too much emphasis on City creating a resource from the data
      • This project about showing there are enough active, concerned and geeky citizens to create the resource for you.
    30. Summary – wider context
      • Power in People’s Hands: Learning from the World’s best Public Services:
      • “ Transforming accountability of services through real‑time, highly local information, often delivered digitally”
      • “ Empowering citizens in the information age – using new technologies to ensure access to services and information about their performance”
      • “ Shift away from b ureaucratic information systems”
