SUMMARY:Creativity vs. Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:90% of all investment in solving climate change is going towards technology innovation and dissemination\, yet research suggests that behaviour change and cultural change could double the effectiveness of these measures (in meeting urban carbon reduction targets for example). This session will explore the power of Creativity Vs. Climate Change and serve as a call to arms to get serious about the po...

SUMMARY:Commissioning Digital Services - a user-led approach
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to public service media\, we can no longer afford to commission projects based on one person's "big idea". We need to be more scientific and find out what people really need before spending millions of pounds on ideas which reach the very few. In this session we'll look at how cutting-edge design and research methodologies from industry are being used to de-risk the development of new...

SUMMARY:If you can see it you can change it: visualising energy
DESCRIPTION:Finding ways to visualise energy is critical in solving the behaviour change problem. Climate change in general and (energy use in particular) are such amorphous\, invisible\, abstract concepts. Everyone understands pollution is bad because you can experience it\, but what about the rest? As social networks\, web APIs\, and open data become more pervasive\, a new breed of technologies is appearing\, dedi...

SUMMARY:Creative Industries in the era of constraint
DESCRIPTION:The Creative and Cultural Industries are held up as one of Britain's most valuable economic assets. As we enter the era of constraint\, precedent tells us that artists will produce better work. But this new phase is also a curse: an arts funding crisis and a complete restructuring of media organisations and agencies poses this question: how exactly are we supposed sustain the Creative Industries? E...

SUMMARY:How People Power can Reboot Britain
DESCRIPTION:Placing people at the centre of a more innovative and agile government and public sector is Lee Bryant's priority\, to enable 'smart' government - 'big' in its inclusiveness\, 'small' in its bureaucracy. We need to move beyond pointless debates about 'protecting' or 'cutting' public sector spending and instead focus on how we mobilise service users and providers to re-invent user-centric public serv...
