Here’s the second episode of the podcast, where I chat with Carl Haggerty who does digital at Devon County Council, chairs LocalGovDigital and is a keen promoter of reflective practice at unconferences. Here’s a link to Carl’s blog.

Well, I for one enjoyed hearing about Carl’s inbox theory. Managing (personal) demand is something I haven’t quite got to grips with yet in my job. I need to check out Trello. This is the second time in a few days I have seen mention of it. I think Sarah Lay said LocalGov Digital use it.
The care bill and the implications of this for all councils strikes me as the ideal opportunity for collaborative work. We’re all starting from the same place, with the same task ahead of us. The banking comparison that you discussed could extend to citizens transporting their care allowance as they move around the country. Think of how an ISA works. Banks compete for our custom and if we move our ISA from one bank to another, the system still knows what our remaining annual allowance is. The difference is councils are not competing against one another, so getting this right should not be too difficult.
