Some thought on the Spending Challenge

I've been catching up on the Spending Challenge online consultation and wrote a couple of posts:

On the importance of trust and credibility: Did the UK Spending Challenge Fall Victim to SCID?

On some of the challenges around policy crowdstorming that remain to be solved: Brainstorming Policy Ideas Online: We’re Not There Yet!

Comments welcome!

We appear to have some issues going on with our comments - we have some serious tinkering to do this weekend. Please bear with us and normal service should be resumed soon *embarrassed face*

To read more or watch a short video of our recent event, have a read of our blog post.

All thoughts appreciated.
