Download the eBook
Pro-active Citizen Engagement is more necessary now than ever.
Today’s citizens have a dizzying array of information and services at their fingertips. With a few clicks and swipes, citizens can transfer money, get answers to the most obscure questions imaginable, and even find and arrange romantic dates. Given the ubiquity of private services citizens can easily, and quickly, access online, citizens have come to expect a similar level of access and ease of use from the services they rely most heavily on - government. Your citizens' appetite for transparency, accessibility, and accountability is only going to continue to increase.
Moreover, the pervasiveness of social media has moved community conversations away from town hall meetings and onto the message boards of Facebook, NextDoor, and more. This presents a key challenge for governments today: how to pro-actively take control of the conversation and provide citizens with the information they desire, surrounded by the context that helps them understand the data they are receiving.
