There are now an estimated 625 million active internet users globally, one in 13 of all humans on the planet. Social networks and blogs are the 4th most popular online activities eclipsing even personal email.
Most of the law and policy that specifically addresses web 2.0 and social media hasn’t been written yet – privacy, authentication, paperwork, accessibility, tracking and measurement, information security, ethics, records, use of third-party tools. Real “legal and policy issue” in social media isn’t that you have to comply with laws; it’s that ambiguity in the laws empowers an organization’s deep-seated risk-aversion. How do you react to this? Some have said “proceed until apprehended” but I disagree. The real win is to ASSUME these issues will come up and address them proactively: -- Call others and ask, “what are the 10 questions I’m going to get asked about X?” “What are some precedents or cases where this was done well?” “What’s the core principle behind this law?” -- Craft a strategy – “this is how we propose to handle issue X” Starts the conversation not from “tell us what we can’t do,” but “tell us if there’s any reason we can’t do this” – Makes life easy for the 90% who want to say yes, and makes life hard for the 10% who want to say no
Related to legal and policy issues: -- In dealing with these, you realize that the core principle is something you need to think through anyway — “How to write our PIA documentation” = How we’ll handle people’s information — “What’s our PRA burden” = How can we actually be responsive to the feedback we get? — “How can we use funds for this” = Are we spending taxpayer money wisely? You don’t WANT to get by without asking those questions, so strategically find the people who handle them, and make them part of your team. Call out the value of their skepticism. BUT – Remember that at the end of the day, you own the risk, and it’s your choice for how much to take on.
Citizen engagement tends to focus a lot on “what will our website look like”? The real win is to build a process, not just a website – open government should IMPROVE GOVERNMENT. The success metric that really matters for engagement is not how much feedback we got, but how much will it enable us to improve what we do? Implications: Most important community mgmt work you do is before & after, the actual event Example: Mozilla model – Looking around your org, what are the opportunities to iterate based on feedback and get into a discussion w/ your customers?
The same technology that enables us to connect with citizens also increasingly enables people to team up, form communities, and help themselves. There’s a tendency in public sector culture to panic about this – “they’re going around us!” – but the right answer is to encourage it. -- Projects like SeeClickFix, Virtual Alabama, CrisisCamp demonstrate how the web is redefining “public-private partnership” -- Also, remember that smaller community groups have access to underserved populations where government doesn’t. Give THEM the tools to connect, deliver services to the communities you don’t know about and can’t reach. When designing your engagement, dedicate some time to asking: How will this build or empower a community that can survive long after the event itself is over. (And don’t forget to resource that!)
All of your ability to not just survive but WIN in citizen engagement depends on keeping up with a rapidly evolving field. News and new developments break by the hour, and so many different fields are relevant: technology, culture, government, law, politics, sociology. Part of your job is to do something government isn’t usually good at – experiment and look around without knowing why or what you’re looking for. If you’re on this webinar, you’re probably someone in your organization that people turn to when there’s a question about whether, why, and how to use the web to engage. So, part of your job is to screw around online. But there’s a way to do this that is purposeful and makes you deadly effective in citizen engagement. Find: Get on twitter and cultivate a follower list of people who talk about what you care about. Use twitter to question, disagree, and steer the conversation where you need it to go; get on google reader and start adding RSS feeds Save: Get on delicious, evernote, or just use Twitter favorites or a similar service and bookmark things that really resonate or that you want to explore more closely Practice: When what you find includes a new app, service, policy, or technique you’re intrigued by – sign up! Think about creating a dummy email account you can use to sign up for services. Even the most seasoned social media expert doesn’t know about a tool they haven’t really used. Share: When you get to a point where you’ve got some lessons learned – even rudimentary or incomplete ones – share them! It can be a quick tweet, blog post, white paper, presentation, or offhand comment at a meeting. This behavior builds capital, establishes you as someone who’s paying attention where others aren’t, and lets you enter debates with reputation and credibility so that you can do the other 4 things on this list — and the other 1,000 I haven’t even mentioned.
