How has social media added to or subtracted from communication between the government and the public?
|
Does social media improve communication and understanding between the public and policy makers or does it simply lead to more noise, unrealistic expectations of responsiveness and frustration? Should we expect all government officials to be accessible at the click of a wall posting? Does the lack of formality improve or reduce constructive conversation between government and the public? What would improve the online relationship between the two groups? |

The game of collaboration: Why Collaboration fail and How gamification can help
|
Collaboration is the most spoken word in business. The value of doing it seems clear, i.e. if you collaborate, then you will get better results. And the advent of social technology (social media), e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc - seems to suggest that people can successfully collaborate anytime anywhere. Unfortunately, many collaborative efforts turn up to be disasters and frustrate all collaborators. Having fantastic collaborative tools (social technology) at our disposal, doesn't make us better collaborators.
In this talk, Roan is going to share with you, why collaboration often fails and how gamification can solve the puzzle of collaboration.

Sustained civil society activism requires creativity, innovation and evolution. This sums up the experiences of Dr. James Gomez who has been involved in initiatives such as The Working Committee (TWC) and is the founding Executive-Director of two political associations the Think Centre (1999) and Singaporeans For Democracy (2010) (SFD). He has also been a front runner of internet activism in Singapore and contested in two general elections in 2006 (Workers’ Party) and in 2011 (Singapore Democratic Party). Dr. Gomez will talk about his latest initiative - The GOMEZ Centre (www.thegomezcentre.com) as well as highlight ideas from his work, civil society and elections. He will share what are the things that inspired him to action in the last 12 years and in doing so he hopes he can inspire others into action!

Are we ready for Society 2.0
|
Gov 2.0 begins with citizens and society. The way we engage with each other reflects or impacts how we engage with government. How do we engage? And how has that changed with social media? Are we more transparent in our interactions, do we show more trust? Are we ready for collaboration? |

Is Open Data enough?
|
data.gov.sg has a whole slew of raw data available for consumption in computer readable formats. But are they enough? What else needs to be done? Do you want information rather than data? Should private data be also made available in a restricted way? |

Active Citizenry One App at a time
|
Everyone's going to be engaging in dialogue. Instead of just talking and talking and talking, let's sit down and figure out ONE project we could do and, at a later date, gather developers who want to help build that project, go to Hackerspace one night and actually build something. |

Pictures of Numbers |
Data visualisation & information graphics are essentially pictures of numbers. But it is my belief that through this translation of data to pictures, it’s possible to reveal patterns that were previously hidden in the details.
We’ll come to look at some of the lessons & processes through the lens of projects past: a couple of elections and a public transport network.
