Context :
We are after 2025, the society has been completely "servitized" (service economy) and most if not all interactions are now dematerialized. The e-Government existed when you were born and you grew up in an e-Democracy.
You, as a concerned citizen, remember voting for the first time in 2025. You were then 16 years old.

Workshop format :
- Highly interactive, group work with expected take-away results
- Role / game oriented co-creative process

Workshop Structure :
- Workshop Introduction and Guidelines (20’)
- Group work, workshop participants break into Groups (50’)
- Group deliverables (20’)
- Workshop results, take away and Discussion (30’)

During this workshop you will be asked, based on a short context description to choose among three types of society / government evolution models.
A "free-enterprise" model, a "good big-brother" model and a "smooth continuity" model where things evolved in a rather linear way since the early 21st century.
Should you have another idea for a model not mentioned above, bring it along and we'll allocate a fourth "wild card" group by vote among the participants for the one gathering the most interest.

Groups will be asked to creatively think about what, why and how they voted at that time in order to propose a single most important high impact trend or idea as output of their discussions.

Results will be discussed and gathered as a take-away.
These may also serve as input for further on-line discussion and be shared with people involved in the e-Government activities and projects.

We hope you will join us as members of public administration, activists, representatives of the industry, politicians, or most importantly concerned citizens, for a lively and thought provoking session at Lift'09

Workshop Organization :
This workshop is an initiative of the Service Science and Innovation Think Tank, involving members of public administrations, universities and industry.

See you @ Lift'09
