That seemed to work okay, so just one more and then I’ll leave Scribd alone for a while. This is a great report out of the IBM Centre for Business and Government titled Leveraging Web 2.0 in Government. Definately worth a look.
Key Findings
- Government needs to meet citizens where they are online.
- Citizens are willing to interact with Government agencies online.
- The role of intermediaries will increase.
- Government will need to rethink content and service design.
- Government will have to find ways to embed authority in its web-based services.
- Some citizens are concerned about equal access.
- Citizens trust the government with personal data but not for service efficiency.
- Government will need to measure the effectiveness of its Web 2.0 initiatives.
Recommendation No. 1… “Just Do it.”
