I am part of a small team which is planning a guerilla
conference on a make do and mend approach to using IT in public services. The
aim is to create an event that will enable people to exchange ideas and develop
new ones on how to make the most of existing IT. Specifically, we hope the
(free) event will be a celebration and dissemination of all that can be
achieved without purchasing new kit / software / contractor time / bells /
whistles etc. (This event will be an antidote to the burgeoning number of other
events which are still promising huge cost reductions by paying for just that
one more piece of ("waffer thin mint?") IT investment
Please watch this space - there is more to follow -
including what we mean by a guerilla conference! (Well - you have heard of
guerilla gardening... try thinking along similar lines...!) The date will be
towards the end of the year - possibly early into the next.
But meanwhile... do you have examples of where you have
spotted or even initiated a change or achieved a result with a deft (and zero
or very low cost) use of an existing IT system?
Please post these examples below as a comment or
email me if you wish. With your permission -
I will also upload these to my
small creative ideas news blog as well.
