2. • How do we establish a more e-
collaborative relationship between Citizen
and State in Swedish Local Government
3. What is the urgency?
• Sweden is in a comfortable position now
but it will not last. Use the time well.
• How do we give the Politicians the desire
to participate in this process? Engage in
constructive debate - the evangelists need
to become part of the solution
• Create a shared information base
4. What are the principles
we are trying to work
towards?
5. Open data, open practice, open
Open
access
Crowdsourcing, co-design, co-
Collaborative
production
Trusted Transparency,
Individual as participant citizen not
Nature of relationship
customers
Empowered actors High levels of self-efficacy
Responsive to social change New kinds of leadership, power
and the networked society and culture, blurring of boundaries
Change is normal BPR, constant innovation
Commitment to Explore the new role of the
representative democracy politician
6. Test these against
current practice
• Agree the terms of engagement: we have
to admit failure, we have to be open with
results, we have to commit to respond to
results
• SALAR to offer an incentive to participate
7. Test these against
current practice?
• Create a lightweight approach that can be
run internally to check strategies and
investments by municipalities against these
principles
• Use civil society to judge these
8. What are the
outcomes?
• Conversation with city councils
• Internal learning
• Public discussion
• Identification of the innovators
9. What would happen
next?
• Decision to actively participate in the
network and subscribe to the principles
• Commitment from politicians, civil society
and civil servants
• Identification of the projects that they will
provide the network
• Commitment to the learning contract
• Agree to share failure as well as success
11. Connect pilots to
strategy process
• Find these pilots in the audit
• What stops pilots going mainstream?
• Whats the difference a pilot and service
redesign?
• How do we create the energy to take the
next step?
• For example; PB projects have been tried
but not turned into systemic change
12. change not the status quo
• Stakeholder project that involves actors
outside of the Municipality
• ITS HUGE!
13. Next generation
participation projects
• How do we create open engagement
projects that support the principles we
have described
14. Next generation
participation projects
• For example: combination of
fixmystreet, collaborative planning and
participatory budgeting. Set a PB budget
for a specific street or area. Municipality
opens up their data and expertise to
support collaborative decision making.
Politicians involved in ensuring the process
is representative. Public is responsible for
agenda and priority setting
15. Model service delivery
around life events
• Use open data to expose the path of the
service
• Transparent the assumptions around the
service
• Co-design discussion with participants to
redevelop
• Establish co-productive solutions and more
choice for the new solution
16. Find the bottom up
projects
• Search for civil society generated initiatives
which could be amplified and encouraged
as part of this process
17. Network the
innovators
• Create a movement -,open and fluid
• Create a new norm that everyone is an innovator
• Make it fun
• Prizes / Citizen Oscar
• Agree a systematic learning approach
• Celebrate failure
• Be careful of language and create shared language and narrative
• Only use each example once
• Ensure that there is a place for minority voices
18. DEFINITELY DO THIS!
• Unconference - bring these people
together with a shared purpose but no
agenda and see what happens
19. Not to Forget List
• Document principles
• Create audit process
• Ensure there are benefits to all participants
