Birmingham cannot compete on cost, on the quality of R&D or on quality of life, can it? Show less »

Or, if not, how do you ensure inclusion of all citizens, and not just those who are digital natives? Show less »

    Birmingham, like many other local authorities, faces substantial cuts in their finances in the next few years. How can technology play a role in helping deliver ‘more for less’?

    Beyond2010 is a 2 day public sector conference aimed at looking at how to deliver better services for less. Why do you think that it is important for people from local authorities to attend?

     The main problems and solutions I think are:

    a) quality- solved partly by training and partly by recruiting volunteers or part timers from outside the organisation with a passion for content creation. Getting senior level buy-in for uniform levels of investment in this in different BC directorates is crucial. It's no good one country spending on content when others do not.

    b) continuity -solved by etsablishing standing editorial teams with a planned content schedule, which takes account of busy periods, leave etc. Again, this needs to be standardised across all operations that are involved in publishing content.

    c) sustainability- finding a cost recovery model whereby micro-payments for content are funded via sponsors. This is a business development activity and as such, needs to be planned, monitored and reported on at a regional or global level.
