From the beginning of the joint of NSW KM Forum-Sydney SharePoint User Group meeting tonight.

Sorry, these aren't the best quality images but they give you a taste of the table notes made during last nights conversation cafe on the relationship between KM and Government 2.0.

At the end of tonight's conversation cafe, I asked everyone to tell me what was the most important or interesting thing they had heard - this is that list:

• Care and motivation
• Copy (reuse) what people are doing overseas
• Government 2.0 could really be described as “Government Party” - inspiring things can happen when people meet
• Government 2.0 gives people that care a voice
• Government 2.0 is about maintaining relationships, not occasional engagements or consultations with people
• Government 2.0 is not a brand new idea, its just that government is the last to adopt these ideas. We need to show them examples
• Government 2.0 needs a purpose
• Government 2.0 should make things easy for the user (and they might use government online more)
• Government 2.0 will happen despite government
• Government simply using Web 2.0 is not Government 2.0 - it must include participation and decision making
• How do we include people (digital divide) - social networking could be the way in
• How do we make Government 2.0 accessible
• If people feel valued, they will contribute
• Innovation involves failure
• Its the manner in which Government 2.0 is introduced (behaviour change)
• Not about us and them - we are the government
• Putting a value on knowledge
• What will be the impact of the current economic environment vs the vision of Government 2.0
• We need critical mass to be effective
• What’s the motivation for transparency?
• What’s the motivation?

I haven't done any analysis or sorting of these just yet, but feel free to add any immediate comments (or corrections if any of these are your points) you might have.

At the KM Forum tonight...
