my 20 things from #ukgov12

If you pitch 4 sessions you will have a lot to write up
We have moved on from last year – more stuff is mainstream and big ideas are being taken seriously. However we now need to focus on building a proper evidence base to stop ourselves running away with ideas that we have not yet proved
At some point soon GovCamp will need to reconcile its relationship with ‘the suits’ and accept that it is difficult to get stuff into the mainstream without it being diluted.
We really need to agree on the new context so we can help our projects support each other
If we are in a network society then we need to start using the power of that network – and not just talk about it at GovCamp
Agile projects need agile management – not Prince2
Lists are much faster than text – thanks Dan
Dave and Steph do an incredible job with the organising – thank you both
Lloyd Davis is an excellent facilitator and I got a huge amount from his Human Scale conversation
Carrie Bishop is the best and most positive disrupter I know – I love the way she thinks
One aspect of a smaller state is less concern for edge cases – I am not sure how I feel about this
Its great to have the wisdom of @tomsprints at our disposal
I am really glad that @pubstrat is running a huge project – its reassuring
Every time I think I know enough people I meet a new ones who are fantastic
When is the centre going to realise that Government doesn’t mean Whitehall?
I liked the 2 day format – but I think we should try running some sessions explicitly aimed at new people
I talk too much
Information is going to drive the new economy – we need to treat it like a valuable raw material not a finished product
Its a huge shame that only one politician appeared in two days – hats off to @cllriansherwood for being the one who bothered
Its not about digital – its about social change
