I was chatting with friends on Twitter the other day regarding how useful it would be for Australian government to see positive and practical examples of online government engagement initiatives.
With fortunately timing, Crispin of Bang the Table recently posted about a new report from the US based Public Agenda's Centre for Advancement in Public Engagement which provides a number of examples of effective public sector online engagement initiatives from around the world.
The report also has some practical principles for constructing an online engagement strategy.
View the post, and the report, at Promising Practices in Online Engagement.
According to me, the first example of online engagement is Change.gov, an example of “eConsultation” at the national level that was put in place by the Obama. This system tried to feature deliberative elements that were not found in Great Britain's online petition systems. Change.gov focused on idea generation and storytelling.
