Open policy making (The Mandarin)

“I recently read the unflinching external review report on the DTO’s Gov.au “alpha” release [www.dto.gov.au/standard/assessments/gov-au-alpha/] and it made me wonder what would happen if we applied the discipline and structure of good digital asset design -in this case, rebuilding the federal government’s web front end -to the business of policy making. The question forms part of a longer standing speculation about the relative lack of progress we’ve witnessed in the application of the tools, culture and practice of “digital transformation”, which have mostly been used in a service delivery context, to the way we conceive of, and execute, the policy process.”
