Can close-knit, physical communities even exist anymore - or are
people migrating more and more to digital by default with each
generation?
How can we shift from service provider to community builders?
Communities are the primary inventors in a democracy. Citizens are the producers of the future - @CormacRussell
Questions we askedWe hear a lot about 'Government as a platform' but what would
happen if we thought of our organisations in the same way?
What if we enabled people to reclaim communities spaces with our
organisations providing the digital platforms that link health housing
care and other vital services?
Our thoughtsThe proliferation of apps , tenant portals and websites
is creating a complex digital landscape. Are we
rebuilding our physical silos in the digital space?
We need a new network of spaces with community
builders who act as connectors and enablers . A role
that facilitates community facilitators.
Could these be enhanced with digital assistants or
navigators to help people through the complex web of
public services?
Model One: Community Builder Spaces
A space on every street corner - available to the whole community.
Provides space, skills and tools the local community wants.
A new network established to link places designed to inspire.
A vehicle for both digital inclusion, social inclusion and creativity.
Model Two: Digital Navigator
There are plenty of community building tools, readily available. But many of these are monetized somehow, so the code is not open source and is difficult to integrate with another product.
We could provide one such app, or simply an open source ‘navigator’ that helps people find the right services for them.
This virtual navigator would be complemented by real-life support in Community Builder Spaces.
Model Three: Community Reward
Reward those individuals who share their skills and resources with the community
with ‘credits’ or a cryptocurrency like bitcoin
Credits can be used in exchange for other services or goods at certain shops
Uses transactional reward as a gateway for change
This also fits with idea of housing and care credits discussed in session two
