The Public Sphere

Today’s Pub­lic Sphere 2 at Par­lia­ment House in Can­berra has the poten­tial to reset the whole frame for Gov­ern­ment 2.0 in Aus­tralia. 30-​​​​odd inspir­ing and well-​​​​informed speak­ers with real expe­ri­ence both within and in help­ing the pub­lic sec­tor really showed the poten­tial for a more open and col­lab­o­ra­tive model for gov­ern­ment in this coun­try. In […]

Culture change for Government 2.0

The text and slides below are for my ses­sion at Pub­lic Sphere #2  –  Gov­ern­ment 2.0: Pol­icy and Prac­tice which is being held at Par­lia­ment House tomor­row. The talk is just 10 min­utes long, so I don’t go into any real depth  —  but it is a nice, quick overview. For some­thing organ­ised quickly and on the enthu­si­asm of volunteers […]

#2 in the B&T Marketing Blog rankings

Um… Wow… Thanks. I’m more than a lit­tle stunned at being ranked the #2 mar­ket­ing blog in Aus­tralia by lead­ing indus­try mag­a­zine B&T. To quote Sean Penn (who was riff­ing Sally Field in the first place): You tol­er­ate me. You really tol­er­ate me! It’s inter­est­ing, not least because it’s pretty much been an acci­dent. And some­times, I’m […]

Social media? It’s not actually about selling anything…

Mostly. EDIT: And when I say “mostly”, I mean mar­ket­ing ulti­mately focused on get­ting peo­ple to buy stuff. Not on chang­ing opin­ion, not on aware­ness. It’s a delib­er­ately nar­row def­i­n­i­tion for the pur­poses of this post. I’m going to try to be con­cise as I put this out there for your amuse­ment. I say this as […]
