Understanding consultations

Feb 3rd, 2009

At Barcamp on Saturday, I missed Steph Gray and Paul Johnson’s session on consultation. The title is ‘Online Consultation or Digitally Enhanced Policymaking?’

Regulars here may guess that – in my view – the latter is a great deal more worthwhile than the former. Steph has posted the slides there – I think they deserve as wide a circulation as possible:

It was a very good session.

I have to say, I can take very little credit – I only wished the collected wisdom and experience in the room could have been harnessed for a couple of days to really crack the problem once and for all…
