Citizens are uncertain

Employees are uncertain

Fear and doubt are rife

Spin is endemic

Public servants are not

Perceived powerlessness rules

Citizens are cynical

So there is a chasm to cross

Greater depth

Another chasm to cross

Organisational cultureCurrent approach is hierarchical

Behaviouralism rules

Bolstered by managerialism

Rightly viewed with cynicism

Yet another chasm

Beyond culturePeople build culture

Intuition works

Organisations are social

People talk

Social media rocks

So where are we?We have a vision

We have a map

We have smart tools

We don’t have a market

So we don’t have passengers

Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010

Crossing the chasmsAllow direct engagement

Rise of the heretics

Allow unstructured engagement

Democratise culture change

Establish a social ecology

Steve Davies ❘ Gov 2.0 Conference ❘ Canberra ❘ November 2010

Page 16: Gov 2.0 Steve Davies

And if we don’t?Loss of trust

Disengagement

Mediocrity

Declining ability to deliver

A dark age public service
