great blogpost to match the great speech you gave. I hope the officials listen.
Speaking as one of the ‘vocal minority’ it is difficult not to flood conversations when you realise nobody is saying what needs to be said. As more people get online and start using these tools it is crucial for ministers to be able to understand and use them. Currently the only people who are engaging with joe public are the web teams, and as you say, IT isn’t their job…
…I repeat, I hope they listen to you.
Good luck, you are doing a great job.

Interesting reading Neil. Good that this being driven forward. A key challenge will be altering the mindset of officials focussing them on dialogue with ‘real people’ in the outside world, as opposed to ‘just performing a function’ in the civil service. Managing the dialogue & robust decision-making also enter the frame – interpretation of response thru this channel needs to be smart & followed up appropriately.
