- 16. The following points represent the final conclusions reached regarding the implementation of the Future Melbourne wiki. Was the City of Melbourne successful in the implementation of a wiki platform for public consultation? Yes, in the opinion of the reviewers it was.That is not to say it was without challenges.These challenges centred primarily on the collaborative process (as opposed to the technology), indicating a need for further development of support processes, as well as collaborative capacity building within the organisation.The recommendations of greatest importance in this regard are: • City of Melbourne Guide to Collaborative Consultation • An Organisation-wide Mandate for Collaboration • Explore Opportunities for Further Implementation of Collaborative Online Consultation Are wikis a viable platform for public consultation that should be further explored? Yes, in the opinion of the reviewers they are.The great majority of those interviewed (internal and public participants) agree on this point, while the local and international interest and participation confirm many benefits.The recommendations of greatest importance in this regard are: • Explore Opportunities for Further Implementation of Collaborative Online Consultation • Explore the Opportunities for Development of a City of Melbourne Community Engagement Platform • MaintainVisibility of & Promote the Future Melbourne Experience Summary of Recommendations The following is a summary of recommendations so far referred to within this post-implementation review.They have been ordered by their perceived importance for: a) The ongoing success of the City of Melbourne's online public consultation. b) The internal integration of collaborative technologies. However, as the recommendations have been developed in order to support and synergise with one another (especially across the internal/external boundaries) the ordering should not be taken as a final guideline as to what should or should not be adopted. 1. City of Melbourne Guide To Collaborative Consultation (Internal & External Recommendation) Such a guide should provide an organisation-wide approach and understanding of online consultation, helping to unify its conceptualisation, approach, process, practices and evaluation.The guide should aim to integrate key learnings from the Future Melbourne initiative and draw on the experience and knowledge of those who were involved.This guide would provide the opportunity to determine ahead of time many of the challenges that are faced during initiatives such as Future Melbourne, as well as managing and informing the expectations and understandings of those considering participation (i.e. public participants as well as external stakeholders). 2. An Organisation-wide Mandate for Collaboration (Internal Recommendation) Develop a mandate and associated action plan that outlines the collaborative values, skills and outcomes desired by the City of Melbourne, independent of process, technology or work area.Work towards the implementation of such a plan across the organisation, customised for the specific needs, orientations, and outcomes of individual departments and initiatives. 3. Innovative & Integrated ICT Change Management (Internal Recommendation) Develop and implement an innovative change management program that supports the ongoing and sustainable adoption and integration of new technologies and process 4. Explore Opportunities for Further Implementation of Collaborative Online Consultation (External Recommendation) Explore and implement future initiatives that employ collaborative ICT (increasingly called 'web 2.0' or 'social media') as a means to engage the local and global public, as well as sourcing ideas and information from the global 'problem and solution' domain. Collaborative ICT and social media-oriented channels can also be employed to engage the 4. Conclusion Post-implementation Review
