As most of my readers will know, one of my passions is the potential for transformative government by leveraging the power of hyperconnectivity – social networks, engagement of constituents and citizens, connection of policy-makers to the people and connection of people to providers of government services.
As such, I’m pleased to announce that I will be delivering one of the keynotes at GOVIS 2009: User-centred Government – More than meets the eye in Wellington on 20-22 May 2009.
New Zealand’s GOVIS conference is a leading light in the discussion of the power of transformative government. At the last GOVIS conference in 2007, my friend Tara Hunt gave her groundbreaking Government 2.0: architecting for collaboration talk. It inspires much of what I do and the way I do it.
I’m very excited about this event, as it marries the potential of transformative government with all my other passions. I have big shoes to fill, following Tara, and hope to do her proud as she’s a friend, a mentor and an inspiration.
