The document discusses the importance of collaboration for local governments in the 21st century. It notes that massive budget cuts, downsized councils, and efficiency measures alone will not be enough. Innovation through collaboration both internally between departments, externally between councils and partners, and with citizens is necessary. Examples are provided of successful internal collaboration reducing email traffic at Devon County Council, partnership collaboration improving performance and saving money through the Safer Sutton Partnership, and citizen collaboration crowdsourcing ideas for improving services through Kent County Council and Medway Council's "Transformed by You" project. The document stresses that collaboration is no longer optional for councils and explores the IDeA's role in sharing best practices.

The next 3 years in local government will be characterised by the following…..

Downsized councils in terms of headcount won't get you very far

Why collaboration? Collaboration between councils isn’t optional any more. Why? 1. Lack of money 2. Effectiveness

Why collaboration? 3. Service improvement 4. Engagement with citizens, partners, service providers

Collaboration really works! There are three elements to councils collaborating: - internally between departments - externally between several councils and/or other local partners - with citizens

Example of internal collaboration: Devon County Council piloted the use of social networking technology within the organisation to see what efficiencies could be produced several departments were involved in the trial

Results of internal collaboration: email traffic for those involved was greatly reduced less interruptive and more efficient method of communication

Example of partnership working collaboration Safer Sutton Partnership (SSP) was the first partnership to create a fully integrated police and local authority team under single line management.

Results of partnership working collaboration led to better performance management big savings SSP was awarded national Beacon status

Example of citizen collaboration Kent Country Council and Medway Council project called Transformed by You which saw citizens suggest ideas for improving local services using the internet

Results of citizen collaboration Prototype services by volunteer developers with input from non-techy attendees Projects to be assessed by the councils as to how they can best be taken forward

This document discusses how partnerships and planning can help expand broadband access. It recommends having a plan rather than just a report card, and emphasizes collaboration between public and private partners. The document provides examples of broadband programs in other cities and countries that have achieved high speeds through municipal networks or partnerships. It argues Minnesota should aim high in its goals, use data and metrics, leverage existing industry clusters, and clarify the role of government in expanding broadband access.

Macta presentation to the governors broadband task force

Ann Treacy

Local governments play an important role in broadband access and deployment. As stewards of public rights-of-way, local governments must ensure public safety while managing this critical infrastructure asset. They also support members through education and assistance with telecommunications issues. While municipal broadband is one option, partnerships and policies that facilitate coordination and efficient use of rights-of-way can also expand access.

Lecture 3

Debasish Pratihari

The document discusses Java programs, bytecode, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It explains that Java source code is compiled into bytecode, an intermediate format that can run on any JVM. The JVM then executes the bytecode by parsing the instructions one by one. It describes how a Java program loads a class and executes its main method, and how classes must be linked and initialized before use. Finally, it provides an overview of how the JVM works, including just-in-time compilation to native machine code.
