Namie Town
12 (31 Dec, 2013)
Number of Namie Residents Living in each Prefecture
Namie town decided
• To distribute tablet devices to the residents • Offered to CfJ to create useful applicaQons on the devices
What did we do for Namie?
• A CiQzen-‐Centric Prototyping – face-‐to-‐face Interviews. – Involve ciQzens by holding Ideathons and Hackathons.
• Help Namie town’s tender process for the applicaQon development process.
7 Ideathons were held, 420 People parQcipated, 770 Ideas were presented
3 Hackathons were held 14 Mock-‐ups were made
What would residents need?
• InformaQon about the town and their own houses. – Know what radiaQon level is around their own houses.
– Know when they can return.
• CommunicaQon – Residents want to talk about their old neighborhood to maintain their regional accent.
Improvement the tender process
• Code for Japan and fellows helped to write RFP for avoiding ‘vendor lock’. – The apps should be open source sonware. – Requires agile process development.
• Published tenderer’s presentaQons and published scoring in detail. – Transparency makes clear decision.
What will we do for Namie?
• Fellows will manage an agile development process with the selected partners.
• Main funcQons: – Real-‐Qme radiaQon maps – Keep up with local news – Community noQces – Sharing photos of Namie – DistribuQng administraQve informaQon
Further Fellowship Issues
• Residents have a basic level of IT literacy. – Fellows will organize workshops for the ciQzen.
• Running agile process efficiently with local government and partners. – There is not much instances of ‘Government x Agile’ in Japan.
Main difficulQes for extending the fellowship
Ordinary local governments don’t have enough budget for the fellowship
Japanese labor market is not mobilized to hire high skill fellows
New idea: corporate fellowship
• We are about to start three months fellowship with companies – CfJ defines ‘Scope of Work’ with local governments
– Companies send their employees as a fellow – CfJ arranges teams formed by the fellows – The team works under the CfJ’s governance – Companies pay management coordinate fee to CfJ
Conclusion
• The situaQon of Namie town’s residents are difficult.
• To fix such kind of complicated issues, ciQzen centric prototyping process were useful to collect actual needs and ideas.
• Making prototypes before the tender process worked for finding the concept was actually works or not.
