The document discusses the development of a cooperative digital platform for Lambeth Council in London. It aims to [1] give local residents more involvement and control over public services by putting resources in their hands, [2] deliver more effective and responsive services through greater user input, and [3] strengthen civil society. Over two days, key stakeholders will rapidly develop ideas to engage the community using digital technology and lay the foundation for future cooperative co-production of the online platform. The council seeks help identifying communication needs and delivery methods through prototypes, with potential outputs including a cooperative design process, project plans and stakeholder maps. Transactions and final site details are out of scope due to budget and procurement constraints.

Citizen Monitoring for Waste Management Services in MaputoJean Barroca
Through a 2014 Innovation Grant the World Bank developed the beta-version of a software platform known as Ntxuva that provides visualizations and statistics from citizen provided information about urban services.
Ntxuva will be piloted in early 2015. Reports tailored to stakeholder needs and preferences will be provided to municipal service managers and governing officials, to firms providing SWM services, and to citizens and civil society organizations. Scale-up and roll-out are planned for 2015-16.
This presentation shows the current project status and the pilot plans for 2015.

The Cloud - Innovative Collaboration and Empowered Staff (CSL 2013, London)Kahootz
The Civil Service Reform Plan actively challenges the status quo stating “it is vital to engage and empower staff” and also demands change “by innovating service delivery by using technology to achieve efficiencies; working in partnership across departments”. Combining these two objectives requires new ways of thinking as departments shift from traditional top-down ICT deployment to a user-driven bottom-up approach.
Fortunately the adoption of Cloud First policies and the increasing availability of pre-accredited services via the G-Cloud is helping to change attitudes as the Cloud starts to deliver cost savings and improved business agility across the public sector.
This session is for anyone who wants to understand how to deploy Cloud-based technologies to improve team collaboration and public consultation as part of a stakeholder communication and engagement strategy or project. You will learn how the Cloud can be used as a platform for bottom-up innovation and understand, by example, how various local and central government organisations have engaged and empowered staff to develop new ways of working together.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Change is coming to public services in Lambeth. The cooperative council is
Lambeth’s big idea for local government. It’s about giving people more
involvement and control of the services they use and the places where they live
by putting council resources in their hands.
Over the years, we have seen how cooperation between service providers, such
as the council, and those who use or are affected by services, such as residents
and communities, has resulted in public services that are more closely aligned
with people’s needs and expectations. In Lambeth, there are dozens of examples
of this approach in action, and this was the inspiration for the cooperative
council.
In addition, the aftermath of recession and the deepest cuts in Government
funding for a generation, demanded a reform of public services – they simply
could not continue to be delivered in the same ways.
The cooperative council shows that this ethos - of meaningful partnership and
cooperation - is the foundation on which public services can be run in years to
come.
The cooperative council aims to:
• Turn more citizens from p a ssi v e reci p i en t s into a ct i v e
sh a p ers of services
• Deliver more effective, m ore resp on si v e serv i ces by giving users
more control
• S t ren g t h en ci v i l soci et y so it’s better able to deal with challenges
• Do things ‘wi t h ’ our communities rather than ‘t o’ our communities
This is an opportunity to think creatively and realistically about local public
services, with the prospect of improved, more responsive service delivery as the
result.
Th e ov era l l G ood for Not h i n g ch a l l en g e
Our challenge is to gather together key stakeholders from across the
community to rapidly develop a set of practical and tangible ideas that enable
the council to engage with the local community and vice versa using digital
technology.
The output and learning from this first exploration will form the basis for future
co-production of the Lambeth co-operative digital presence – online, mobile
and other emerging technologies.
Th e b ri ef
To use the 2 days to accelerate the co-production and development of the
Lambeth Council digital platform
- getting stakeholders directly involved in the identifying what’s most
needed to communicate with the community and how best to deliver it
- establishing a blueprint for future development
2.
This brief is exciting as it is the first time that the council have opened up the
development to directly involve users - residents, council staff, councillors,
local businesses and experts.
The digital team are already working with a group of local web experts - some
of whom will be on hand to share ideas and learning to date.
They have also developed an idea of how the site should be built, and what
potential platforms to use, with a number of key principles agreed:
1. The site will be open source
2. The site should be managed using a CMS, supporting devolved content
editors adding and amending content in departments across the council
AND in the community (also with the ability to publish
widgets/applications)
3. The site should be built iteratively and incrementally
4. The site should be co-produced
5. The site should be co-operative
Where there is a skills/knowledge gap is in 4 and 5
This is where we would most benefit from help and feedback from the different
groups of users – especially in response to different potential ideas/prototypes
for how the site should work that can be further developed at the next stage
P ot en t i a l ou t p u t s
1. A process model/methodology/guidance for how to co-produce (and
usability test) a cooperative website, enabling the community to design
and build the site
2. Fleshing out the tender document/requirements/BRD for the site
3. Project plan for building the website cooperatively
4. Stakeholder map
5. Ideas on integrating social media/other methods to enable the final
website to be cooperative
6. Reviewing and advising on open source CMS solutions
7. Draft designs
8. Top tasks
9. Information architecture
10.Global experience dictionary/consistent user experience
11.Establishing how else stakeholders would like to coproduce the site
3.
Parameters (to consider for future developments)
-‐ Budget for both technology and staffing must be agreed prior to this
project starting
-‐ The site must meet accessibility requirements
-‐ The project will be staffed by one project manager and 2 web editors
(not full time). Other staff, probably within departments, to work on
content migration.
-‐ .gov.uk principles – meet user needs, user feedback and constant
testing, priority on the common case, consistent user experience
-‐ SOCITM principles – think customer, top tasks, go mobile
Ou t of scop e
-‐ Transactions
-‐ Eforms
-‐ Bookings
-‐ Authentication/log-in/customer accounts
-‐ A final website
-‐ Choosing the technology and supplier (because of procurement
rules)
