Episode Five: Rebooting the Public Square

In the finale of ReCivilization, Don takes us into the public square, to look at how governments must re-engage with citizens. This means leaving behind the industrial age model of command and control and into moving into an era of openness, transparency, and accessible data that allows citizens to participate fully in designing effective policy and public services. And it means protecting the web as a public space.

Episode Four Extras: extended interviews

As usual, we had far too much terrific content the single hour we're alloted on the radio. So here are extended versions of the interviews that went to air. Enjoy! Read more »

Episode Four: Re-Industrializing the planet

In episode four of ReCivilization, Don examines how the digital revolution has cut transaction costs and changed the notion of the firm, and how business needs to operate collaboratively and transparently -- to meet the needs of increasingly savvy consumers concerned about sustainability and ethical behaviour. As Don says, the level of scrutiny made possible by the web means businesses operate nakedly. And if you're going to be naked, you'd better be buff.
