Innovation & collaboration in the BC Public Service

Wednesday, July 15, 2009


Late in 2008 Kim Henderson, then the Web 2.0 visionary in the office of British Columbia's Deputy to the Premier, charged Rumon Carter and I to find new ways to leverage the power of Web 2.0 to help spark a new wave of innovation and collaboration in BC's Public Service. I was asked to research our options and develop the character, organizational and visual concepts behind what has become the professional networking intranet site SPARK! The project has gone on to become a national benchmark for professional networking within government as evidenced by the cover story above. Though I was a spark in the process, it was Rumon who was the flame that really ignited the project... congratulations Rumon!

If interested, you can read the cover story in Canadian Government Executive magazine: CLICK HERE

In addition to SPARK! I also designed a suite of online and print collateral to support the project. You can see a few samples by scrolling this blog to "Office of the Deputy to the Premier". RSD

Office of the Deputy to the Premier

Thursday, June 25, 2009


When British Columbia's Deputy to the Premier wanted to spark a new wave of innovation and collaboration in BC's Public Service she decided they needed somebody who was "outside their box"... me. I spent eight very interesting months working under contract, collaborating with some really smart and dedicated folks on the development of a number of new web and print tactics to help convey the new message set.
