Next week is the launch of a collection of essays titled “Unlocking Innovation” about user-driven innovation edited by Simon and Sophia Parker (not related). It seemed like a good time to stream a lecture that Simon gave back in February to a Swedish delegation at Demos, about making public services more democratic. In the lecture Simon gives a thumbnail sketch of the concept of Everyday Democracy and asks whether the private sector is capable of working with these principles. His conclusion is basically yes, but only if the system permits it. The lecture comes in two parts, streamed from our youtube page. I will paste them in here, one above the other.
Further to this, you can also download the talk that preceded this one given by David Albury (Demos Associate and former Principal Adviser in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit) on the recent history of UK public services from the Internet Archive, here (23MB/20mins).
