Blue Train Enterprises is available to assist Federal, State and Local Government departments and agencies with the intricacies of Government 2.0.

e-Government, or more commonly known as Government 2.0 in Australia, is the use of contemporary electronic technologies to deliver government services and support to citizens, and to enhance communications between government agencies and enterprises.

Wikipedia defines e-Government as:

e-Government (short for electronic government, also known as e-gov, digital government, online government, connected government or transformational government) is creating a comfortable, transparent, and cheap interaction between government and citizens (G2C – government to citizens), government and business enterprises (G2B –government to business enterprises) and relationship between governments (G2G – inter-agency relationship).

According to the United Nations' 2010 e-Government Readiness Index, Australia is the eighth best country in the world for e-Government maturity. But there is much work to do yet...

The Federal Labor Government released a new policy document in May 2010 which signals a major shift towards 'open government'. The new policy will see government agencies and their staff adopt a more open and collaborative stance online. Additionally, previously copyrighted government data and content will be issued under a creative commons licence, enabling its reuse and republication for the public's benefit.

This shift will not be without its challenges.

Blue Train Enterprises is available to assist Federal, State and Local Government departments and agencies with the intricacies of Government 2.0. Blue Train consults on strategy formulation, policy frameworks, governance requirements and usage policies, and provides detailed, hands-on training for social networking tools, blogs, online video, wikis, content sharing websites and other Web 2.0 tools.

testimonial

From Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Wells, Senior Career Advisor, Directorate of Officer Career Management, Australian Army

I recently engaged Clayton to deliver a training seminar on social media technology and web based career portals for my team who provide career management of Australian Regular Army officers. Clayton's product was outstanding. He had thought deeply about the subject, and his training was specifically tailored for the needs of my team. His deep background in Government, coupled with his industry leading perspective on employing social media to support business made him perfect for what I was seeking. I would recommend him as an expert trainer and consultant on integrating web 2.0 technologies into existing businesses and government departments.
