Web Governance

To anyone who thought government is too big, too set in its ways to truly embrace Web 2.0, I say, "phooey."On July 26, just in time for it's 75th anniversary, the Office of the Federal Register rolled out Federal Register 2.0.

Without a doubt, there's a lot to be gained when government leverages Web 2.0 tools to provide better communications and service.

I had a great time giving a workshop on Web Governance in the Federal sector earlier this week. It's always rewarding to spend a day sharing best practices and lessons learned with Web managers and this workshop was an especially good one.

Oftentimes, clients express that setting up governance in their agency seems like a very academic exercise. They are skeptical (though also very hopeful) that such a time-intensive task will be worth it.

February was Black History Month in the United States. My birthday also falls in February and this year I was 46.
