Dr Crispin Butteriss, Becky Hirst & Matthew Crozier

I am delighted to announce that Becky Hirst Consulting has become an Associate of the internationally renowned online community engagement company, Bang the Table. Jointly, our aim is to encourage South Australia to embrace technology as a tool for involving communities in problem-solving and decision-making.

Fed up of ‘public consultation’ involving requirements for hefty written submissions, or attendance at public meetings held in inaccessible locations at inconvenient times, I call for a shift in the way local, state and federal Government engage with communities.

Bang the Table provide independently moderated online forums for discussing public policy and the partnership with Becky Hirst Consulting hopes to increase the use of interactive online spaces used in South Australia during 2010.

Alongside promoting the use of online forums for public debate, Bang the Table will be providing training for Government staff in the use of social media for engaging communities in South Australia during 2010.

A new decade. A new approach.
