🏛️ 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.

As universities increasingly seek ways to engage with societal sectors, collaborative research practices are gaining attention. One pressing area that demands more collaboration is the digital transition across the public sector and media industries. Organizations in each domain face different challenges posed by the growing use of data and algorithms in daily practice and their implications for building relationships with the public.</p>

🇪🇺 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!

Obituary for the late Mark Zuckerberg who turned a Harvard campus creeper app, scraping and rating female students' photos, into a global Public Information Utility, who left this life firmly committed to the right of every member of the Public to enjoy their own truth; and to evade their rights established under the Common Carrier clause of the US Code which was enacted to protect citizens from parasitic utilities like those operated by Meta Corp.

I've a former colleague who is looking to speak with some Senior #UCD people (Head of-level¹ or above) working in #Government and #PublicSector roles to understand how their UCD function operates.

If you are working in this capacity, and would be interested in sharing approaches that have worked when scaling UCD Teams, let me know and I'll make the introductions.

Thanks. 🙂
