Event Details
A Political Innovation 'Translation Layer' Event at Adam Street
Policymaking in the Cloud: Doing Things Differently
What policymakers can learn from the cloud, open source and peer-to-peer models
Speaker: Dr Andy Williamson
A short talk followed by drinks & networking
Who should come?
- Politicians & their staff
- Campaigns & Public affairs professionals
- Policymakers
- Entrepreneurs & investors
- Gamers
- Bloggers & journalists
- Social media specialists
In Brief;
New technologies and working practices imply different organisational models, with open source development changing traditional models of intellectual property.
The Cloud and peer-to-peer models are concepts that, superficially, change the way IT departments work. More importantly for policymakers, they can also change the way we think about collective action and participation.
How do these concepts impact on the work of politicians, and what do they need to know to take advantage of them?
Dr Andy Williamson is an independent digital strategist and commentator. He is a Honorary Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Social Change (Manchester University) and a former Director of Digital Democracy at the Hansard Society with extensive commercial and academic experience in the UK and New Zealand.
The Translation Layer
We often ask politicians to embrace innovative ideas from the worlds of social media or gaming and use them to solve long-standing problems.
Never before have we faced a position where so many key concepts are not fully understood by policy makers and their stakeholders. They’re tough concepts to grasp if you don’t work in these industries. A Translation Layer is needed. Applying these solutions to the obvious problems with policymaking can help improve an understanding of the wider opportunities presented by innovation.

About the Political Innovation Translation Layer events
Many of the key actors in political life – elected representatives, tabloid newspapers, lobbyists - have been shaken by new demands for transparency in recent years. The world of think-tankery is next.
In a recent set of short essays on the Political Innovation website, Dr Andy Williamson has set out a list of problems found in any policy-making ecology in which Think Tanks are influential, along with an outline of what a more transparent and efficient alternative could look like. These events explore how innovative concepts can transform policymaking - and what politicians can learn from this for wider application.
