13. Designing
passionate,
people-­‐powered
public
services
Casserole
is
an
example
of
how
understanding
ci/zens
as
producers
as
well
as
consumers
leads
to
services
that
help
communi;es
turn
the
issues
they’re
passionate
about
into
ways
to
be
more
self-­‐
sufficient
and
less
invested
in
expensive
public
services.

14. Fun
and
Gamifica8on
• Gamifica;on
applies
the
fun
and
addic/ng
elements
in
games
to
real-­‐world
ac;vi;es.
• It
focuses
on
the
human
in
the
system,
as
opposed
to
pure
efficiency
of
the
system.
(Yu-­‐Kai
Chou)
• Games
improve
social
fabric
since
people
tend
to
like
people
be#er
aLer
playing
games
together
(Mc
Gonigal).
• Games
give
people
challenging
tasks
to
work
on
together
…
people
are
happier
when
working
hard.
• Games
provide
epic
meaning
(akin
to
real-­‐world
purpose).

20. Summary
1. Civic
par;cipa;on
is
fundamental
for
crea/ng
healthy
people
and
communi;es.
2. Informa;on
technology
has
completely
changed
the
ability
of
people
to
par;cipate
in
all
aspects
of
government
(input,
analysis,
decision-­‐making,
ac;on).
3. Government
must
embrace
this
change
or
someone
else
will.
