Last week I hosted a workshop about Social Media in the Public Sector. My workshops are not your normal “I am talking – you are listening” gigs (I can’t stand those, that’s why); instead I take the “dinner party” approach: we all sit around a table and have a lively discussion, sans loads of scruptous food and wine (so far at least). I facilitate the conversations and bring up examples, but everyone is encouraged to bring up examples or issues. That way we make sure that the content is relevant and tangible to the participants.

I wanted to express my gratitude to both the morning and the afternoon groups – both sessions were very inspiring and I really enjoyed our discourse. Also, thank you to the Network of Public Communicators, who organised this event with me.

I found a nice post about what you need to consider if you want to start an organizational blog (not strictly for the public sector, but it is very transferrable)- something we discussed during the workshop a fair bit. I wanted to point you, fellow participants, and my valued readers, there. Any thoughts, comments, remarks (about the article, or the workshop)?
