WHY SOCIAL MEDIA IS KEY TO HAPPY CITIZENSHIP
ROOM 1
Keren Flavell, CEO, TownHall App

Lack of engagement with government consultations should not be equated with a lack of opinion. In the past centuries, the growth in population and the evolution of media has slowly reduced the capacity for inclusive decision-making. The uptake in social media adoption changes this by creating a virtual town square that decreases the obstacles for participation. In the future we can enable many people to contribute ideas and make comment on the work of government, helping to grow an ecosystem of happy citizens.

DIGITAL ADVENTURES: 18 MONTHS OF DELIVERY DEADLINES

Dana Burnett, IT Service Manager - Digital Channels, Christchurch City Council

In December of 2014, the CCC Digital Channels team was formed.  Since then, they have been beavering away to deliver better customer experiences and more efficient services to the Christchurch public.  In 18 months they attempted to change their digital landscape by redesigning and upgrading every online offering they could get their hands on from the external ccc.govt.nz website, to the 12 year old intranet, to 21 standalone separately branded websites, to online maps, mobile apps and more. They even found time to run their own team hackathon, embrace Agile, and eat far too many jaffas. This is their story to date.

OUR AUCKLAND - AUCKLANDERS HOME FOR AUCKLAND COUNCIL'S NEWS AND EVENTS
ROOM 1
Debbie Lowe, Auckland Council

The Communications and Engagement division of Auckland Council believe there is a connection between a highly effective communications channel and trust and confidence in Auckland Council.

The OurAuckland monthly publication meets Auckland Council’s obligation under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002). But more importantly, it generates greater awareness and understanding of the council and the value it delivers. This in turn improves the reputation of the council and supports the growth and quality of community engagement, enabling good decision-making.

In October 2015, OurAuckland took the next progressive step in its evolution with the launch of the OurAuckland website. The site is vibrant and dynamic with customer-focussed and community-led content. And importantly, it provides the opportunity for Auckland Council to break our own news and respond to reputational risk in the media with our side of the story.
HOW TO RESURRECT A ZOMBIE INTRANET
ROOM 2
Richard Liddicoat, Online Communications Officer, Tasman District Council

Our intranet was dishevelled, brain dead, shuffling around the offices on a platform more than 10 years old. Thousands of documents hung in ragged folders off its weary bones. Every time you tried to interact with it, all it could say was it needed brains.

Consultants said we'd need six figures to fix it. We had one figure ... $0.

Come and find out how we did it, and view some of the tools we've built in the process.

TOWNHALL APP - A LOCAL GOVERNMENT CASE STUDY
ROOM 2
Keren Flavell, CEO, TownHall App
In late 2014, Taupō District Council wanted to undertake some pre-consultation with the community before developing their 10-Year Plan. With a growing social media presence, they decided to use Townhall Social to see if their community engagement could leverage social networks to increase reach and participation. With over 1000 votes and 500 shares, the consultation captured broad community awareness and demonstrated how words and actions can spread on social media. This case study discussion uncovers how they did it.
