I can’t help feeling sometimes that ODPM sponsored projects have ended up being the vehicles for the self promotion of individuals, rather than the dissemination of vital knowledge, practice and experience.

I seem to recall recently seeing lots and lots and lots (I mean lots) of leaflets with the same persons photograph on. What’s that all about? Apart from being a North Korean like approach to ‘marketing’ how does it add to the greater good of e-government?

But that aside. Why the paper leaflets in the first place? Isn’t it possible to use digital technologies to organise in the first place? To disseminate information? To raise awareness and create new networks? Why the glossy brochures if it’s all about new way of working ?
