RIPA International Seminar
August 1, 2008 Posted by Kevin in : Bristol , trackbackRIPA International (formally the Royal Institute of Public Administration) is an international training organisation specialising in Public sector reform. Yesterday I presented some ideas to RIPA delegates around how Web 2.0 principals and practices can inform and improve the way Councils deliver services, use data and consult with citizens.
Some of the ideas are pretty new and challenging but seemed to be well received by an audience from a wide variety of geographical locations and policy contexts.
In order to demonstrate how technology can hugely simplify the process of creating and submitting complex information I took a photograph of some of the group using my iPhone . An application on the phone automatically and seamlessly uploaded the image to my flickr account, tagging it with the location, date, time and the current weather conditions. Its always a bit of a risk doing these things live but thankfully it worked perfectly.
