6. Gov 1.0 to 2.0
Magna Carta – 1215 AD Internet – 2010 AD
7. Government 2.0
(in my humble opinion)
represents a fundamental shift
in the relationship between
citizens and governments,
to the benefit of both.
8. Government 2.0 includes...
Using tools and techniques enabled by digital
technologies to bring citizens 'inside the tent'.
Empowering citizens to be active participants in
government decision-making processes and
supporting them to do for themselves.
Opening up public data for public reuse to inform
and enable new insights, better decisions and
more effective policy.
Initiatives from individuals and non-government
organisations as well as government.

25. Gov 2.0 caveats
• Doesn't replace existing approaches...
it can supplement and amplify them
• Doesn't work for all audiences or issues...
but does work for some that are otherwise
unreachable/intractible
• Gov 2.0 doesn't solve problems...
