(8)I just spent an hour at a workshop on data and analytics where I was ostensibly an expert. Instead, I got to cohost and moderate a discussion among the extraordinary conferees at #FWD50, who quickly shared the depth and bread of their expertise in public service, & tried to nurture open conversations that created far more value than we captured. A reminder of what a privilege it is to be here & of the latent & applied knowledge within this community.
Many thanks to Alistair, Rebecca, & the entire @fwd50 staff for putting on an excellent event that connected online & offline participants with ideas and to one another — and to all of the public servants here who show up every day to listen, engage, & build better societies. #fwd50
It is a mistake to continue to engage in digital duality, between a “real world” & a virtual world.
I think Estonians grok this.
Far too many media, politicians, & civil servants still don’t.
Use offline & online.
Digital services & interactions are real.
Making them “other” is part of the problem.
