We like the Consultation Institute. Their courses are interesting and they've come from nothing to national prominence in just a few years, all impressive stuff.
But occasionally, when it comes to online consultation, they seem to miss a few tricks. Their newsletter this week is… read more

Consultation, Engagement, Good examples, Projects and client work
Further to
my post last week about delivering the
BBC Trust's online consultation system, here's a pleasing example of it in action: the Trust are currently running a
consultation on the BBC's on-demand services and have been promoting it through
iPlayer.
We like this for a few reasons:

With so much
chat and buzz at the moment (and rightly so) about Tim Berners-Lee et al's
data.gov.uk, I thought it'd be timely to say a bit about how we'll be doing our bit towards publishing online consultation information as
Linked Data (Steph Gray has
recently blogged on a similar subject).
We've built (and are continuing to iteratively improve)
Opinion Suite, an open-source online consultation management…

Interesting
report out from Tweetminster the other day about the amount of politicians and political parties using Twitter at the moment, which hopefully adds a bit of context to the whole 'This will be an internet' election meme around at the moment.
More interesting in many ways though is the response to it from the political chattering types, and
Tweetminster's response to that. Lots of useful stuff…

Often, the most exciting work we do has to stay under wraps, so we're really delighted to be able to buck that trend and show one of our favourite recent projects: delivering the
BBC Trust's online consultation system.
In their own words, 'the Trust sets the course for the BBC. We represent the public who own and pay for the BBC'. Clearly, the BBC Trust has an enormous responsibility…

So, last week week,
Delib finally launched
"Open Gov the Movie" the documentary film we shot whilst in Washington DC back in November, documenting the year since President Obama's Open Government memorandum.
The film features some pretty awesome / influential people including Tim O'Reilly (Web2.0 god) and Beth Noveck (Head of Open Gov in the White House), and has been generating quite a buzz in the US - including…

I'm now out of hospital (thankfully); however, the patient crowd-sourcing website I set up
whilst in hospital – as a frustrated patient – is still up and running.
helpusimprovekings.org has had mixed success since its launch and we've learnt a huge amount over the time we've been running it so we thought we'd share these learnings.
From a practical perspective, the key learnings have been:

President Obamas' administration want to know what citizens think, they are proving this by encouraging dialogues between state and citizens, something we were proudly able to help with last year using our
Dialogue Platform. Now they want you to watch, listen and understand them via the new iPhone app
WhiteHouse.gov: Anywhere.
The emergence of internet enabled phones and their proliferation will certainly add an interesting paradigm to the Opengov…

So we're all now back from our "technology not policy, will win the 2010 election" debate in Parliament last night - which by all accounts went down very well. First off a quick apology for anyone who couldn't get into the debate - unfortunately the event was a complete sell-out, and the Policeman on duty wouldn't let any more people in the debating chamber!
Also, a quick thank you for everyone…
