ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW: Is the emerging vision of government-as-a-platform too far-fetched and unrealistic? Or does it portend a new era of citizen engagement in public service innovation? What are the distinct roles for citizens in public service co-creation and problem-solving? Are there strategies for creating an environment for co- creation? Join host Michael Keegan as he explores these questions with Satish Nambisan, co-author of “Engaging Citizens in Co-Creation in Public Services.”
