Dear Colleagues

The Open Government initiative is a big step in the right direction … but on its own will not accomplish very much. What good it does will be offset by a crisis of data overload and confusion.

The management of data within most corporate organizations is designed to give value to the data without subjecting decision makers to data overload. Accounting methods, like variance analysis simplify the process of identifying key issues to be addressed.

Community Analytics (CA) does these things in the broader society … and with the data from OpenGov has a jump start on being useful!

Hey Craig,

I took a look at the report a few days ago and was very impressed with the results. Your task force did a great job on the report!

Great feedback in support of the initiative!

I’d be very interested in seeing what some of these Gov 2.0 leaders felt about the recently released Australian Gov 2.0 Taskforce’s Draft Report – Engage: Getting on with Government 2.0 (http://gov2.net.au/blog/2009/12/07/draftreport/)

The Gov 2.0 community is larger than any country and we have a lot to learn from each other.

Cheers,

Craig
