Two weeks. Three fabulous events.
It’s been a big year for the Government 2.0 in Queensland Community of Practice (or gov2qld as we prefer to call it!). And we’re not done yet! It’s so exciting to see our community involved in three big events in Brisbane over the next two weeks. Whatever your particular interest area under the “Government 2.0″ [...]
On Internal Social Media use in Government Agencies
The next gov2qld networking event will be held at the Gardens Point Campus of QUT (full details below). This month we will focus our ‘Government 2.0 Intensive Care’ session on a subject that many of you are talking about if not actively working on at the moment, the use of Internal Social Media within agencies [...]

On a Single Web presence for Government
After a great panel discussion on the legal aspects of Government 2.0 last month, this month we will focus our 'Government 2.0 Intensive Care' session on another hotly requested topic, that of a 'Single Web Experience for Government'. Once again we will have a facilitated panel discussion with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
On building a local Government 2.0 Community of Practice
This month, the 'Government 2.0 in Queensland' (@gov2qld) community of practice will welcome its 300th member. Not a bad achievement since we only began this little venture six months or so ago. An idea spawned from a conversation between Amelia (@Emotivate) and I (@DavidJEade) lamenting the lack of a community for people in our State keen to share ideas, experiences and tools relating to this emerging trend.

On the Leadership Spill – As Predicted ;)
I’m watching as history is being made in Australia – a leadership spill will this morning install Australia’s first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Nice timing for me as I used the following slide in a presentation earlier this week – before any talk of a spill. Interesting to see the uproar about a ‘Prime [...]
On Beginning to Engage
It was a surprise yesterday to see the response of the Australian Federal Government to the report produced by the Government 2.0 Taskforce (released in December 2009). A surprise not because it wasn’t expected but because of the delay in producing it and, for me, the brevity of it’s response. That’s not necessarily a bad [...]
On Idea Platforms – Now What?
There’s a marvelous scene at the end of the movie Finding Nemo. The fishes in the fishtank at P.Sherman’s dental surgery have, for the whole film, been devising a way to escape into Sydney Harbour and to freedom. In the final scene, and as a result of the tank filter failing, the fish have been [...]
On Product Managing Government 2.0 Initiatives
I recently wrote a guest post for the Brainmates Product Management blog looking at the lessons that we as product managers can draw from what has been happening in the world of Government 2.0.
I highlighted in my last post here that I believe we are now entering the trough of disillusionment for Government 2.0, and the more I have thought about these two subject areas, the more I have come to realise that it is during this phase in the lifecycle of any technology initiative that Product Managers become key. Be they established Product Managers in established companies or Entrepreneurs acting as Product Managers for their Big Idea, the principles taught to us at Product Management school are key to emerging from the trough onto the slope, or crossing Geoffry Moore's Chasm, or surviving the cynic-generated chaos of this critical technology life stage.
