Since late last year, we've been collaborating not only with France but also with the Netherlands to develop workspace solutions for the #PublicSector across Europe. We're eager to see what other exciting projects will come out of this partnership 🤝

@mloxton And not only in the Trump regime, but these kinds of people - DOGE for example - are out there in the private sector in droves, telling themselves that they are efficient and competent, and super, and mostly the dismal reality of their skillset remains hidden. Now we can see their work product publicly, and what a load of codswallop, what a myth, that the private sector is smart, efficient, well run. #PrivateSector #PublicSector #Incompetence #USPol

🏛️ Agile in public administration? – Yes, that's possible!

Sometimes, rigid structures make agility seem impossible for public institutions, but hybrid project management makes it easier to get started. Boards, dailys & retrospectives can help bring flexibility while keeping structure.

🇪🇺 Data sovereignty matters – now more than ever.

Public institutions need #secure, #transparent, and #sovereign open source solutions. #OpenProject provides dedicated project management for the public sector — helping governments and organizations across Europe maintain full control over their data.

With integrations like @nextcloud and of course with #openDesk, we’re on a great way.

What would be the perfect 'system' for the #publicsector to adopt?

1) outside-in adaptive analytic design
2) listen and engage to meet needs
3) recognise our job is value in people's lives -a nd for that we need both

www.linkedin.comBenjamin P. Taylor on LinkedIn: NOT the perfect system for the public sector to adopt | 89 commentsWhat would be the perfect 'system' for the #publicsector to adopt? I asked for exam questions recently and, Jim Nicholls threw me a doozy! I've spent 25 years or more thinking about this, so rather than agonise, I'm just typing my answer straight. There are two answers, which point the way to a third. __ First: do really really good work analysing your citizens, their needs, your priorities for shifting public outcomes, and then design an adaptive, outside-in organisation which really works on the needs you have identified. Each part of that is important, and deserves a breakdown I don't have time or space for here. But in being part of kicking off the transformation of Hammersmith & Fulham council in the early 2000s, I've seen this work well - as far as it goes. __ Second: work with individual citizens to deeply understand their needs and 'pull' in the required expertise. It's really really the Vanguard model, which I was bowled over by in 2002, and which informs so much of the 'community paradigm', 'human learning systems', 'the liberated method' and so on, and which aligns with the way Cormac Russell has taken Asset-Based Community Development forward. It's brilliant - when you can create a bubble to deliver. And it's brilliant at creating passionate converts and bitter enemies And then the organisational immune system kicks in, and takes over. That's because it's a threat, and because it doesn't offer all the answers to the pressures of meeting demand within reducing budgets, nor does it tell you how to actually build an organisation that can do this in either a targeted or a scaled way. __ Both approaches have complementary blind spots. The third approach is to recognise that we are trying to help people achieve their purposes in life. So what counts is what adds value in their lives: 1- we need big clunking production of 'services', capabilities and outcomes at scale where we know the overall needs 2- and we need intensely focused, human-centred partnering to work with individuals and families and groups to create value that makes sense in their context 3- so (1) need to do both mass-production to meet large-scale needs, and to offer the capacity and capability in the right place at the right time to be 'pulled' (2) for truly citizen-centred services This requires a type of thinking and a type of organisation which recognises both sets of approaches and needs and can work with both. The work isn't fully done yet and nobody - save a few people with services to sell - is claiming it is. But I am working on it. What do you think I need to add to explain this fully? #publicsector #innovation #transformation #publicservices [EDIT - I should point out that the slides are 'some of' the thinking 'up until this point' - they don't speak directly to this post in any linear way, other than to illustrate some of the points of (1) and (2)] | 89 comments on LinkedIn

In a very real sense after a decade & a half of Tory attrition (and inaction) our public services are crumbling;

the National Audit Office has concluded that there is a £49bn backlog of repairs to the built public infrastructure, of which two thirds is accounted for by lack of maintenance & repairs across the NHS & schools.

However, this represents a major Keynsian opportunity; rebuilding & refurbishment could drive employment & skills acquisition across the country!

A public sector funding initiative should pick up #Mozilla #Firefox and drive it as a community browser indepedent of #Google funding.

A browser is by far the single most impactful gateway to computing resources for people nowadays. (Right after a mobile OS.)

It must not be allowed to fail.

@remixtures I appreciate the depth and clarity with which you have covered this topic. The acceleration effect of AI's pattern recognition capabilities is a fascinating and concerning, especially when applied to the justice system. Your point that we need to consider what influence we allow the private sector to have over our public institutions makes me think, wouldn't it be better to only use #OpenSourceAI in the public sector?

Thanks for this insightful article. #Justice #PublicSector

Q. what will unwinding/ending of over 150 PFI deals in various sectors mean over the next five years?

Assets will return to public ownership, but part of the question is what state will they be in & how will the switch from paying PFI contracts to embedding the required expenses in 'normal' budgets impact on running & maintenance costs...

On the face of it, it currently looks like planning for the transition has been weak (or inadequate)....

#AI #Government #PublicAdministration #PublicSector: "The public should have opportunities to offer input into what technologies are introduced in public administration, since they interface with these agencies and could be adversely impacted by the AI systems they deploy. Ultimately, it’s an issue of trust: If the public can’t trust their democratically elected governments to know their rights — and these technological intermediaries are representative of those governments — it is unlikely they will trust those same institutions to protect their rights.

With governments on pace to adopt more technology, it’s imperative that any new tools are thoroughly evaluated and tested before they are released into the world. AI has the potential to dramatically improve many government processes and could help the cities provide better services. But if technologies are poorly designed, without attention to how they are integrated into society, they could change power relations and how people relate to their governments. In this case, the more likely outcome is the further erosion of trust in public institutions — and undermining the very laws and rules the city is responsible for clarifying and protecting." thehill.com/opinion/technology
