The Ideation Community of Practice
Nicholas has come to the HHS Center for New Media to explore new and innovative media tools that members of the HHS community are building and using. This is the first of a series of podcasts and blogs that highlights those new media efforts.
Ideation tools are solving problems. The Ideation Community of Practice (iCOP) is working to improve the way government agencies implement and use those tools.
Ideation (ideas + generation) is a process by which government agencies are creating, discussing and prioritizing ideas for implementation. Ideation tools allow agencies to communicate and share those ideas online.
Last year, HHS wrote a white paper on the use of ideation tools. Soon after, iCOP was developed. The group now meets monthly to discuss best practices and shared topics of interest.
To learn more about iCOP or read the white paper that HHS presented on ideation, email Elizabeth.Kittrie@hhs.gov.
How is ICOP supporting ideation practices across government? This fourth podcast introduces you to the Ideation Community of Practice. I spoke with Elizabeth Kittrie of HHS to discuss how iCOP formed and how it is helping to improve government functions. |
