I will be running one of the Open Space sessions at the Web 2.0 Strategies event being held at the New Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, London on 12th June.

I believe this will be stimulating discussion, and of particular relevance to any public sector delegates who are currently using or thinking of deploying Web 2.0 collaborative technologies in their workplace.

We will explore some of the lessons learnt and tangible outcomes from a case study example of a Web 2.0 strategy to build a network of Communities of Practice across the public sector.

Some of the key points to be explored include:

• Social media applications as a means to effective networking and knowledge sharing
• Building a collaborative culture in the workplace.
• Communities of Practice (CoPs) in local government - from 0 to over 320 CoPs in 18 months.
• Policies and governance for use of social media applications in a highly regulated environment.

I hope this session will appeal to anyone currently grappling with the world of Web 2.0 and how the benefits can be safely deployed and exploited in the public sector. I look forward to seeing you there!

Please Note: There is a special rate for public sector attendees of £350 plus VAT bookable by calling 0207 316 9126 - you cannot book this rate online.
