Topics for discussion
- Theming of ideas received during the ideas gathering phase of the 4th National Action Plan (NAP4)
- Material provided:
- Draft spreadsheet with initial analysis breaking down to 10 “sub-themes”
- Related ideas under each as prompts for discussions
Notes
Overview
- Table groups discussed each sub-theme in detail, and captured observations on A3 templates regarding opportunities, possible focus areas, impact and potential to progress
- Participation had three table sessions due to the volume of ideas. The others each had one discussion each
- Groups also sketched a visual representation how they saw the themes, key players and concepts interacting
End of session reflection
- Despite NZ being an advanced democracy there are still foundational things that need addressing, including how we embed the Public Service Act 2020
- NAP4 should have at least two “stretch goals”, and some foundational commitments
- There is an opportunity for Open Government Partnership (OGP) to be an “innovation lab”
- Sense the session was successful, a good first step towards achieving our shared goals
- Opportunity to learn from OGP UK
- Challenge to see government moving from consultation to participation
- Opportunity to change the language and expectation about how this is done
- OGP NZ roadmap needed
