#OtisSez Welcome to 2020 eh? <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2019 I concluded an assignment with the very talented folks at the Policy Community Partnership Office. In my time there I explored the policy process within the GC and co-created a new framework for learning about policy along with a new 2 day course. I delved into topics, curriculum and learning approaches. Created some information architecture built some prototypes. I experienced enlightenment, pivots, passion, frustration and the 12 steps of why. I met tons of really smart folks and I learned a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As 2020 begins I will be starting a new project, more on that if and when the paperwork comes through. In the meantime I thought I would share some reflections on what I might like to do in the new year. Some of this applies to the project I have coming up, but much of it also could apply to future projects in the next fiscal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to work on an open project. Maybe a prototype of some sort. Maybe a provocative presentation or video. Definitely something to support positive change. I would like to use evidence and data and apply critical thinking. I would like to work with a multi-disciplinary, teleworking friendly team with as little drama as possible. I would like to create little stories to support culture change.  I would like to be part of an agile network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a whole lot of \u201cI\u201d in that paragraph, but the most important thing is what we can do together. If you have a project in mind that I could help out with, I would love to chat. If you don’t have a project in mind, I have some ideas \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The listening machine prototype<\/strong>
Build on previous work to collect and quickly distill meaning from large amounts of qualitative engagement data.  Establish a standard for consultation data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI for policy formation<\/strong>
Prospect for data and opportunities to demonstrate the value of  AI\/BigData to policy formulation\/implementation\/evaluation\/improvement. Demonstrate a high value use case. Communicate the possible through a provocation paper or other means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any kind of collective curation effort<\/strong>
Seems to me that we could be doing a much better job of capturing and sharing key knowledge from across the public service ecosystem. For many topics I believe there are willing partners who just need some dedicated leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ideas are just starting points, if they happen to align with something you need to do that would be great, but I am open to talking about any project where I can provide value. Let\u2019s chat and see if we can find some synergies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Free Agent Program? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is an efficient way for you as a manager to get short term project help.<\/p>

The Free Agents are a new model for workplace mobility in the Government of Canada that supports managers looking to rapidly and easily acquire top talent to support their short-term project needs.<\/p>

You can find out more about the program and details on acquiring Free Agents by visiting the GCcollab group<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All the best to you and yours in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
