Delivering local eDemocracy: a toolkit
www.icele.org is crammed full of information about eTools, examples of how others have used them, and details of projects that have been developed both nationally and internationally.
But like many if you are looking at, or embarking on new ways to involve your stakeholders electronically, have you ever asked yourself: 'Is it all worth it?', 'Why bother?', 'How will it help me?'?
If the questions above ring true for you, we're developing this section to give you the information you need to see how eDemocracy can play a key role in your organisation.
It's only in its infancy, but we thought we'd bring it to you early, so you can help us to shape its focus.
We'll be constantly developing it and have plans to publish opinion pieces from key industry leaders, case studies from organisations who have delivered real benefits using eDemocracy, web-chats, eForums and more. So if you have an idea or topic you would like us to focus on, let us know.
