You might have noticed we’ve got an optional extra breakfast included in the program at out up coming Canberra event, Web Directions Government. If you work in government, and you have any interest at all in the exciting Government 2.0 things they have been doing “across the ditch” in New Zealand, get along to this breakfast. Better, make sure the higher ups in your organisation are there as well because Jason Ryan will give them the Web 2.0 religion in a language they can understand.
Jason is the Communications Manager at the State Services Commission, this being the New Zealand Governmentâs lead advisor on the country’s public management system, working with government agencies to support the delivery of quality services to New Zealanders.
His blog is a fantastic resource. Here you will find
- Principles for public sector social media. If your government agency is thinking about starting to blog, you really don’t need to read anything except this document. Ten easy to understand and implement principles that will stand you in good stead with what can be a tricky enterprise. In fact, looking at them again now, I would recommend this list to anyone anywhere who is serious about starting a blog.
- Microformats and the social media release. Create media releases tailored to the way in which we identify and share information with each other in the networked, syndicated, always-on Web 2.0 world.
- Blogging as a public servant. Memorise this and regurgitate it every time the boffins from the legal department swing by your office and try to put the breaks on innovation.
Jason’s blog really is essential reading, and he has a fantastic, clear headed style that will help you wash away the fear and resistance you are bound to come across in implementing social media projects in your department. Subscribe to it today and get as many people from your department along to that breakfast as you can.
