David Weinberger: Wissen in Zeiten des Überflusses | digitalpublic.de - 0 views

  • Um diese Hilfen des Denkens zu verbessern, haben die Menschen das Wissen zunächst aufgeschrieben und fangen nun an möglichst alles zu digitalisieren und das so gespeicherte Wissen dann zu verbinden. Wenn man eines Tages ein eBook erfände, dass sich mit anderen verbinden würde sowie mit dem Netz hätte man eine Chance soziales Lesen einzuführen.
  • Überfluß Wir leben in den Zeiten des Überflußes, nicht Überfluß an Geld oder Wasser aber eben an digitalisiertem Wissen. Es gibt aber auch einen Überfluß an Mist, an Überflüssigem. Leider sind wir gut darin, mit dem Überfluß des Schlechten und Unnützen umzugehen (Spamfilter) nicht aber darin, mit dem vielen Wissen etwas anzufangen.
  • Links/Verbindungen Früher hatte alles Wissen seinen Platz und konnte durch seine Registrierungs- oder Archivnummer gefunden werden. Jetzt ist alles mit allem verbunden. Keiner weiß, was wirklich wichtig ist und was wichtig sein wird und vor allem warum.

  • Transparenz als neue Authorität Wer also Einsicht in seine Methoden liefert, wie man auch bei Wikipedia erkennen kann, an den teilweise leidenschaftlichen Diskussion, der erhält auch Authorität. Weil man eben alles  nachvollziehen kann. Es steht ja auch jedem frei selbst an die Texte Hand anzulegen, wenn man meint, es besser zu wissen. Ein Lexikon eines großen Verlages tritt immer auf, als wäre das enthaltene Wissen irgendwo im Weltraum entstanden, wir können nicht erkennen, warum eine bestimmte Behauptung aufgestellt wurde. Bei Wikipedia ist das möglich. Fast jeder Satz wird umfassend diskutiert – zumindest bei vielen wichtigen Einträgen. Und genau das unterscheidet ja auch unser Selbstverständis jetzt im Gegensatz zu der Zeit vor dem Internet. Weil wir uns unserer Möglichkeiten und Verbindungen miteinander immer wieder im Web versichern können und damit einerseits mehr Wissen schaffen, das mit anderen zusammen erstellt wurde und gleichzeitig damit eine Verbindung der Menschen untereinander und mit dem Wissen immer wieder neu aktualisiert wird.

It's time for a new version of government - Fortune Tech - 0 views

  • Create a management framework that accepts and rewards internal entrepreneurs.
  • Government 2.0 is a citizen-centric philosophy and strategy that believes the best results are usually driven by partnerships between citizens and government, at all levels.  It is focused entirely on achieving goals through increased efficiency, better management, information transparency, and citizen engagement and most often leverages newer technologies to achieve the desired outcomes.
  • Government employees are traditionally risk-averse, a good thing when the pace of change is relatively slow.  However, in today's fast-paced world the pace of government change, the pace of government execution is often too slow.

  • 3) Engage citizens in creating value and saving money. True results are being delivered in the private and public sector when customers/citizens are engaged in the process.  Platforms like BubbleIdeas, UserVoice, IdeaScale, and others, are being used to give citizens a voice in the daily execution of government.

  • 4) Become agile, delivering on 100 day plans. While politicians often make promises for their first 100 days in office we rarely see clearly defined goals combined with execution plans and measurable outcomes publicly displayed. 
  • Government entities should select an easy to define project to complete every 100 days.  The projects goals, plans, and metrics for success should be published and updated weekly.

  • You can build it but they won’t come. All successful open source projects build communities of supportive engaged developers who identify with the project and keep it productive and useful.
  • Ongoing maintenance and distribution of the data hasn’t been budgeted for almost all the data sets we have today. This attitude has to change, and new projects give us the chance to get it right, but most existing datasets are unfunded for maintenance and release.
  • there are at least five different types of Open Data groupie: low-polling governments who want to see a PR win from opening their data, transparency advocates who want a more efficient and honest government, citizen advocates who want services and information to make their lives better, open advocates who believe that governments act for the people therefore government data should be available for free to the people, and wonks who are hoping that releasing datasets of public toilets will deliver the same economic benefits to the country as did opening the TIGER geo/census dataset.

You Can Learn From "Dell Hell." Dell Did | CustomerThink - 0 views

  • Learning from Dell
  • Customers are in control. Work with them and learn from them. Real conversations are two-way. Think before you talk—but always be yourself. Address any form of dissatisfaction head on. Be aware that any conversation can become global at any time. Size doesn't matter—relevance does. Just as one journalist can trigger a newscycle, one blogger can do the same. Don't be afraid to apologize. Develop direct links to customer community (IdeaStorm for Dell), listen for how we can improve. One customer is part of many communities. Teamwork, transparency and frequent consistent communication are key in this new world. No shortcuts are possible. Implementing business change requires much effort across departments.
