Government 2.0

Last week I started teaching government 2.0. We want to understand the impact of web 2.0 technologies on the transformation of public value creation in today’s world.

Super-simple group forming (think facebook, wikipedia, meetup, xing, linkedin, plaxo, twitter, dodgeball, flickr, blogging, ning, etc.) accelerates the process of the de-coupling of the state from being the primary provider of public value.

Super-simple groups will impact the state in three ways:

a. by expanding the social universe.
b. by competing with existing forms of creating public value.
c. by transforming existing forms of creating public value.

If you are interested, join us at: http://www.philippmueller.de/government.html. We are posting the sessions as videos and podcasts. You can participate in the discussion.
