Going one better than our previous nomination for a Citizen Service Award, the pioneering National Dialogues for the US Department of Homeland Security won an Intergovernmental Solutions Award this week.
The project was based on the Dialogue App platform (albeit a pretty souped-up and customised version), and we’re immensely proud to see the work recognised. Massive props should go to our friends at NAPA who oversaw and ran the entire project, and to DHS for stepping out and using this open, online approach.
A bit more info about the Intergovernment Solutions Awards:
The 2010 theme for the annual Management of Change conference is 30 Years of Collaboration. We have expanded that concept for the ISA competition to incorporate the three priority areas addressed in the President’s Open Government Initiative – transparency, participation, and collaboration.
A panel of judges, including senior executives from government and industry, reviewed all nominations and selected the finalists based on the following criteria.
1. Operational Eligibility
2. Executive Summary and Project Description
3. Intergovernmental and Collaborative
4. Transforming the Business and Improving the Operations of Government
Win!
