5. tools ARE cool…

6. to inform to communicate
to sense

7. for getting involved and taking control

8. for asking important questions

9. for transparency and openness

10. for better policy making

11. for convening communities

12. for sharing and collaboration

13. but tools are not
enough…

14. is it the medium?

15. or the man?

16. solution: leaders that lead and engage

17. is it the medium?

18. “The Corporate Plan is the single operational
document that is used to guide and monitor
the delivery of the Council’s priorities…
The Council's budget is a financial expression
of its services and levels of provision but also a
conditioner of them. It links the priorities and
objectives of the Council as expressed in the
Corporate Plan having regard to resources
available and taxation consequences of
spending decisions.”
or the message?

19. solution: content and communications
that engages

20. is it the medium?

21. or the masses?

22. solution: more convenors and bridge builders

23. imagine…

24. government as a platform for social
change and innovation

25. less mob

26. more flash

27. from competent

28. to relevant

29. AND
interesting

30. so where next?
