17. Research Intentions and Methodology

18. In what ways will digital technologies and use of the Internet channels to collect, curate and exploit knowledge change approaches to public policy formulation, implementation and delivery? Knowledge and learning in 2050

19. In what ways will digital technologies and use of the Internet channels to collect, curate and exploit knowledge change approaches to public policy formulation, implementation and delivery? New architectures New policy frameworks New professionals Knowledge and learning in 2050

20. That the delivery of public value through knowledge and learning based on the binary relationship between institution and user will become more and more ineffective and expensive as online channels become the preferred user choice. PROPOSITION ONE – silos bad

That public value will best be achieved by strategic policies that treat end user value as the product of managed flows across institutions rather than as actions based on classes of institutions: the integration of unrelated institutions into a co-ordinated strategy . PROPOSITION TWO – VALUE GOOD

26. Content first, institution second
