Disruptive Proactivity

Last week, the new Government announced that DirectGov would be moving from DWP to the Cabinet Office. And, related, Martha Lane Fox would be taking over responsibility for it.

I’ve long been poking fun at DirectGov, and varing from critical to utterly scathing. However, with new political overlords, with new management, and a new basis, there’s a possibility for change.

I believe that were “Team DirectionlessGov.com” to suggest meeting Martha or whoever relevant for a coffee, that would happen. If we were to then go in with a set of actionable suggestions, we can probably get them at least read.

Ideally, blog this question, and your answer, on your own site, and then add a link to it here. I’ll collate ideas and see where it goes. It might be a complete waste of time of whining on the internet with no one listening. But we’ve been doing that for nearly 6 years, it might be worth doing it again, now, when there’s a possibility that, just for once, hope may triumph over experience.
