Government Web2.0 Trends for 2008

I blog a bit at the site of Washington DC’s ExecutiveBiz.   The ExecutiveBiz blog is widely read and focuses on items thought to be of interest to area senior executives and attendees of the ExecutiveBiz events.

I just posted an entry there that I would appreciate my CTO friends checking out.  I could use any feedback you have on the theories and ideas I posit there.  The entry is on Government Web2.0 Trends for 2008.

The first theory I posit there is that Web2.0 in government will result in more innovation. I say:

Most large organizations, including government, find the most innovation where there is interaction with others.  Innovation frequently seems to come from the edge. With more Web2.0 in government, there will be increased interactions among users internal to government and with citizens. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn of an unmet need which is an opportunity to fuel innovation.

I really believe this dynamic will be more at play in 2008 due to enhanced use of Web2.0 in government.  But I’d appreciate views on whether or not this will be a reality or whether or not we need to do things to ensure this comes true.
