Podcast: Collaboration Nation

Posted by Charlie Tims at 11:26am on Friday, 6th July 2007
















Another Friday, another podcast. This is a Simon Parker, Head of Public Services at Demos, discussing a collection of essays we published in March this year titled the Collaborative State. While competition and choice have been the watchwords in public services of late this collection argues that if we want to sustain improvements into the next decade, then we need a new generation of reform that builds on experiments with collaboration between both different parts of the public sector, and between institutions and the people they serve. In this podcast Simon Parker discusses:
  • The moral imperative for collaboration
  • How the internet is (or isn't) changing how the state thinks about collaboration
  • Key examples of new types of collaboration
The collection itself comprises of 17 essays featuring contributions from Tom Bentley, Yochai Benkler and Barry Quirk.
