The Creative Bureaucracy Festival 2020

Episode III: Creativity strikes back

THE 2020 CHALLENGE – A DIGITAL FESTIVAL

Doing a festival in times of a pandemic? Yes please! From September 28 to October 2, 2020 more than 400 speakers and 15,000 unique visitors met virtually on three virtual stages for more than 180 sessions.

We had a blast with our weeklong festival full of bureaucratic imagination. Our program was jam-packed with new ideas, fresh insights, and pride in what the public sector can accomplish. As every year, our goal was to create spaces for exchange, to show examples of bureaucracy at its best, and not least to help people have fun – not in spite of being bureaucrats but because they are.

The festival took place 100% virtually. It was accessible to public servants and their allies all across the world. And we spread it out over five days to accommodate participants’ schedules in the best way. In case you’ve missed the festival or missed out on a few sessions you still want to see: Watch the recordings right below the session details in the program.

The Arms Race of Jargon: Better Communication for Better Decision-Making Stephen Khan, Joanna Chataway

The Arms Race of Jargon: Better Communication for Better Decision-Making

We need clarity as to how research is communicated and how it is translated into widely understood policy that public administrators can describe to the widest audiences – the citizens. Only then will we build trust. Professionals take short cuts in explaining themselves and often they communicate in jargon –…

Informationsaustausch zwischen Polizei und Justiz – „E2D“ Susanne Winter, Hendrik Flohr, Kai Emde, Hans-Günther Börgmann

2020 Collaboration & Communication German

Informationsaustausch zwischen Polizei und Justiz – „E2D“

Die Komplexität des Informationsaustausches zwischen Polizei und Justiz ist gewaltig. Föderale Zusammenarbeit, unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten und Gewaltenteilung sind nur ein paar der Faktoren, die beim Informationsaustausch und der Kooperation von Polizei und Justiz mitgedacht werden müssen. Das Potential ist auch gewaltig, bedarf aber einer langsamen und kontrollierten Annäherung und ein mitnehmen…

Arts and Policy City Certificate

Art has often been overlooked as fuel for development. Considered as either decoration or a collectible luxury, art has been narrowly understood as a product of culture rather than as the dynamic process of making. If culture means only a legacy of shared sites and beliefs that bond communities, the…
