New approaches to public service

Harness the skills and talents in the community using crowd sourcing. Geared at members of the community who are keen to volunteer and contribute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing.

Use social media to converse and share ideas with community, rather than just broadcasting a pre- determined message.

Set up a SASP ‘What really matters?’ web presence, to provoke an ongoing state wide conversation about it. Ask the community: What really matters? How do we make it happen? How do we measure it?

Create an online community to service the sustainability information needs for all South Australians.

Use multi-media and video to explain complex issues to the community and reach people by telling engaging stories.

Enable public servants (permissions, tools etc) to listen/respond to community by crowd sourcing using social media

Encourage public to register ways to make a better SA via twitter and other social media - people to vote on these ideas online - at the end of the campaign, a "committee" of volunteers developed a number of the most popular suggestions.

Making space for community

Create a Department of HOW’ - Assist others with establishing their ‘cause’ through mentorship for meeting procedures, project brief writing, project initiation and management, budget development, collaboration, navigating approvals, spaces, business development structures etc

Work collaboratively to digitise records so that this can be used by the public

Introduce Electronic FOI and be more proactive in disclosing information.

Make statistical information free available to researchers.

Enable online access to our historical archival collections and public records – especially for South Australians in remote locations.

Use social media and the internet to communicate the history which the government and DPC is a custodian

Remove barriers to accessing government information that is not personal or otherwise acutely sensitive.

Share our skills (eGovernment, OCIO and DPC) to bring a customer focus to how govt information is presented and services delivered

Better describe and digitise our State records collection and make it available to the public 24/7.

Create an online forum for graduates across government

Collaborate with existing online communities such as the Australian Youth Climate Coalition

Explore a youthful Thinker in Residence (under 30) to investigate ways to engage young people more in our policy development

Involve young people from all parts of the community in participatory policy making through action teams

Go to where the youth are - NOT make them come to us. Communicate to attract and encourage involvement.

Bright Futures SA: Create ways in which young DPC staff can interact, be mentored, share ideas and develop skills to feed into the policy process alongside higher level decision makers.
