Joining us for a post-Easter Sunday edition of Gov 2.0 Radio on Monday night (8/11 eastern) are two awesome women making social media and e-governance happen out in the big wide world offline. I’ll be hosting with Steve Lunceford of GovTwit and Steve Ressler of GovLoop.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Liz Rosas, e-Gov program manager for the County of Santa Clara, at the O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Liz is also a member of the Federal Web Managers Social Media Subcouncil (and we’ll forgive her unfortunate school of choice, Stanford). She’ll join us from her home in the San Francisco East Bay.
Andrea Baker is a Renaissance woman, geek grrl and director of Enterprise 2.0 for Beltway-based Navstar Inc. She’s also a Gov 2.0 junkie and has worked with the federal government since 1994. Andrea joined us briefly from South by Southwest last month for our Gov 2.0 Radio demo show, and she’ll be back talking about internal solutions for agencies looking at Web 2.0.
“With all the social media buzz about using tools that make government more transparent, we must not forget how Enterprise 2.0 solutions for business are increasing in successful case studies,” Andrea said. “It’s not about doing something new for the sake of new, but its about considering open source solutions as cost effective productivity tools.
“The tools are also social in nature and as the business community adopts them, old ways of doing business are replaced. The infusion of new business practices increases the transparency of work accomplished.”

Yo Adriel!
(Great, now I have the theme song from “Rocky” earworm going…)
We can make internal use of these tools a common theme for the show – with the current budget situation most governments are in, a lot of us are being asked to do more with less, and collaborative technologies are one thing people are looking to for potential efficiencies. But as we all know, technology alone is not enough to make it happen. Figuring out how to integrate these tools effectively into your culture, workforce, and existing processes in a compelling way is the real challenge to uptake and meeting business objectives.
Looking forward to chatting on Monday!
Cheers,
Liz
That went way too fast. I had so many talking points I didn’t get around too. I know Liz felt the same. We’ll touch on it again in the future.
