This document summarizes various experiments conducted by the city of Boston to engage citizens and make government more transparent and personalized. It describes experiments from 2008-2013 like Citizens Connect, City Worker, and Street Bump that aimed to connect citizens to government services via mobile apps, online chat, and collecting street condition data. The impact of these experiments included doubling service requests while maintaining delivery times, one third of cases now handled digitally, and an 89% recommendation rate from users, up 21% since starting these efforts. The document advocates that transparency, communication and personalization, if done right, can inform, empower and engage citizens.

Rowland Sunset Seminar March 2010
The document discusses how times have changed in terms of communicating in a digital environment. It notes that citizens now play a more active role as collaborators and partners rather than just users. Companies also recognize that complex problems require input from citizens. The document provides statistics on digital media usage in Australia and discusses how the digital landscape has evolved. It suggests that organizations should focus on issues management, employee engagement, advocacy, and engaging with citizens online to effectively communicate in this new environment.
National Security and Strategic Communications
Strategic communications involves ongoing, timely, and truthful communications to maintain public support. This document discusses the changing media landscape including the rise of online and single-issue news sources as well as news presented as satire. It also notes that data now drives and checks news reporting and has led to increased polarization and declining trust in media institutions. Additionally, it examines how individuals, organizations, and government agencies are using social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter to engage with stakeholders, provide information, and conduct customer service.
Pluss Leadership
This document discusses the decline of newspapers and rise of social media as sources of information and news. It summarizes that newspaper stock values have declined 42% from 2005-2007 and 83% since 2008. Although social media is still emerging and trusted less than other sources, some segments like Wikipedia and blogs are gaining credibility with younger audiences. The largest demographic labeled in a trust survey are "social networkers," showing social media's growing influence despite low overall trust currently. Crisis communication and engagement on social platforms are also mentioned as innovative public relations strategies.
A Strategic Approach to Social Media
This document discusses the growing commercial and social opportunities presented by social media. It notes that 70% of companies are using online communities to create value and solve customer problems at lower costs than traditional call centers. Social media is transforming customer service, relations, creativity, innovation and consumerism. However, institutions often struggle to keep up with the required speed and responsiveness of social media interactions. The document advocates adopting an attitude of trust, openness, agility, informality and collaboration to better leverage social media opportunities.

Uroš Cvetko: Mobile Internet – One Year Later
The document analyzes mobile internet usage over the past year. It finds that mobile internet penetration and usage frequency increased significantly from 2008 to 2009, doubling overall usage. While perceived high costs remained the top obstacle, offerings with included data increased. Social networking is a key driver, though different age groups have varying usage attitudes and obstacles. Global sites remain major mobile internet developers, though some local sites are gaining prominence. The implications are that mobile internet growth will continue rapidly as obstacles are alleviated, and social networking can attract young users, while local providers may find opportunities in less developed markets.
eSwarajIntro
The document describes a mobile app and web interface being developed to standardize problem reporting for civic issues like water, electricity, roads, etc. The goal is to provide political parties, activists, and media a centralized source of data on governance issues to help evaluate performance. Citizens can report issues via the app, which classifies them by location and type. Analytics will monitor the number and location of problems to identify underperforming areas and departments. This is intended to increase transparency and accountability of elected officials and public services.

Mobile briefing oslo 13th dec2010
Mobile phones have changed how people communicate and live over the past 10 years. It is estimated that by 2013 there will be more internet users on mobile phones than PCs. In the next 10 years, mobile phones will change how business is done. There has been a shift to connectivity being mobile, social, and location-based through mobile internet and apps. Marketers now have new opportunities to engage consumers through their mobile devices in real-time based on location.
Technocon 2010
Using technology can help governments better engage citizens and meet increasing expectations with fewer resources. Examples show how governments are leveraging open data and cloud services to improve citizen services. Edmonton, Vancouver, and other cities publish data on platforms like Microsoft's Open Government Data Initiative to encourage public participation and transparency. This allows governments to deliver better services and experiences to citizens through multi-channel engagement.

Building a Sustainable Citizen-Centric Smart City Approach
This document discusses building smart cities using a citizen-centric approach. It proposes using crowdsensing to identify issues reported by citizens through their preferred messaging channels. The reports would be analyzed to identify locations of problems and assign them to the proper authorities. Insights from big data analytics would help inform decision making. Benefits include increased accuracy in identifying issues and locations, better prioritization of problems, and cost reductions. Tips are provided to avoid pitfalls like ensuring buy-in from citizens and authorities, using gamification and social media channels citizens prefer, and developing citizen engagement strategies. Outsourcing app development expertise is recommended rather than cities trying to build these capabilities internally.
Colab.re - Harvard Presentation.compressed
This document discusses a social network app called Colab that connects citizens to government. It allows citizens to report issues, suggest services, and rate existing services. Citizens can also support other posts and stay engaged as government responds to requests. Government agencies can use Colab's free and premium tools to better manage citizen requests and feedback. Several cities in Brazil have launched Colab, and their mayors praise how it has improved citizen engagement and made government more efficient and responsive. The document concludes by discussing challenges in getting more municipalities and citizens to use Colab, and brainstorming ideas around gamification and partnerships to help drive further adoption.
Scaling mobile for development harness the oppurtunity in the developing world
Scaling mobile for development harness the oppurtunity in the developing worldGSMA Mobile for Development
Around 40% of people in the developing world now actively subscribe to mobile services, with many more having access to a mobile, if not direct ownership. Mobile access in these regions has outpaced the rate at which much of the population is gaining access to basic services such as electricity, sanitation, and banking. As such, there has been increased focus on the role mobile can play in improving social, economic and environmental development in emerging markets. There are now over 1,000 live, mobile-enabled products and services in the developing world across several verticals, including financial services, health and entrepreneurship. While there has been substantial growth in the number of these services over the last three years, the opportunity to achieve broad-based scale is significant.
Mobile operators are increasingly incorporating these 'mobile for development’ (M4D) services as important components of their value added services (VAS) portfolio in developing markets, partly as a contributing driver of future revenue growth, but more importantly as an enabler to forging a loyal relationship with previously unconnected, low-income subscribers. As the use of mobile data rises over the next three to five years, capturing the loyalty of these subscribers now will be key to solidifying the operators’ place in the data value chain in the future.
Our new report, Scaling Mobile for Development, outlines the challenges and opportunities for achieving commercial success and social impact through M4D services. It has been developed by Mobile for Development Intelligence with support from the Rockefeller Foundation. Our inclusive approach included a research process and production of an interim (April 2013) and final report, with a series of peer review workshops held in Nairobi, Kenya and Washington DC to drive collaboration and thought leadership across stakeholder groups.Navigating Public Services for LGSS at iNetwork Digital 2016

Datamatix gitex conference_govt_social_media_22_oct_2013
Government social media adoption and use is increasing globally. The United Arab Emirates ranks highly in e-government development and online services, though opportunities remain to improve public engagement and cross-government collaboration through social media. An initiative developed social media guidelines for UAE government entities to help them communicate safely and effectively with the public to design and deliver programs and services. The guidelines addressed key issues like access management, legal concerns, account management, content oversight, and employee and public conduct policies. Widespread social media use in the UAE presents opportunities to enrich citizen engagement and public services if governments actively participate; otherwise a "government-society social media divide" could emerge.
Bao cao-tong-quan-internet-vietnam-2011
The document discusses the state of social networks in Vietnam based on data from comScore. It finds that:
1) Social network usage has grown rapidly in Vietnam, with Zing Me reaching over half of social network users.
2) Social media users in Vietnam tend to be younger (15-24 years old) and are more "aspirational" in their online activities.
3) While non-Vietnamese social networks still have a presence, Vietnamese-based social networks like Zing Me are becoming increasingly popular among the country's youth.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
