All together now


Interesante post sobre el fenómeno del crowdsourcing aplicado al sector público:
Traditional public participation methods, such as town hall meetings and design charrettes, often involve relatively few voices in the decision-making process. The goal with Next Stop Design--as with all crowdsourced governing projects--is to draw in more voices by taking the process online. And though the realities of the so-called "digital divide" persist with any online process, crowdsourcing may still bring in a more diverse set of viewpoints than typically exists at town hall meetings. Finally, broadcasting the process online may attract innovative ideas from everyday Web users that might not have ever appeared in local face-to-face processes or among even large panels of experts.
La experiencia de Next Stop Design en Salt Lake City demuestra que el concepto puede aplicarse a las problemáticas más variadas. Buenos Aires podría ser un buen laboratorio de experimentación para esta metodología pero tendríamos que garantizar una buena difusión para lograr la masa crítica suficiente y cierta continuidad que incentive a la gente a participar. Just do it!
