Agile Government: A Provocation Paper

Jamie Bartlett and Simon Parker have worked together with the State Services Authority of the Victoria State Government to produce a provocation paper exploring the concept of agility in government, as part of an ongoing project.

The paper addresses the need for agility in the public sector environment, and seeks to provoke debate on how agility might aid government in meeting changing citizen needs, and in shaping those needs in the first place.

Responses
While in Australia doing research for the Agile Government project, Dr Geoff Gallop, former Premier of Western Australia and now Director of the Graduate School of Government, University of Sydney, presented an excellent formal response to the provocation paper. It can be downloaded here.

Thanks for porting more ideas from the software development arena into the .gov space. Continually high quality work you are creating over there at Demos.  I've used your work to develop a project over here in the netherlands,... so keep it coming:)

Thanks James - we're off to Melbourne next week to do some more research on this idea with public servants. Should be very interesting. Final report at the end of the year. What's your work in the Netherlands about?
