Faces of Open Government
Tim Hughes, Director, Involve
What’s your “open government pitch” - how do you sell the idea to the uninitiated?
I think there’s a simple but powerful idea at the heart of open government - that governments and public services will work better for us, the public, if we know and can influence what they’re doing, and hold them to account for it. Everyone has an example of a policy, decision or service where they think some combination of “I could have told them that”, “well of course that didn’t work”, or “surely it’d be better if…”. That’s usually the hook for talking to them about open government.
