Web 2.0: The Future of Collaborative Government
Source: Deloitte LLP

Today’s tech-savvy world demands tech-savvy government. Increasingly connected citizens and stakeholders are asking governments to deliver services more rapidly and efficiently. Yet the public service bureaucracies that form the governmental backbone often take a conservative approach to adopting the latest Internet-based technologies to accelerate service delivery.

On June 3, 2008, Deloitte and the National Academy of Public Administration convened a group of government leaders, subject matter experts and forward thinkers to develop a road map to help the next administration navigate the work force and organization changes that need to occur to move to a more collaborative model of government. View media coverage of the event.

In the spirit of Web 2.0, the session incorporated a variety of interactive elements including a collaborative support environment with a pre-event survey, prediction markets, discussion boards and blogs; visual cartography (download four charts from the session below); voting tools; and Blackberry comment and question submissions during the live event.
