Ideal Government meeting

William Heath hosted an Ideal Government brainstorm last night, with a great range of participants: government, the Design Council, contractors and other private sector, and academia. The setting was the rather lovely October Gallery Club.

Some discussion revolved around user v citizen v 'consumer', and we made plain to all that user research is not all about focus groups. A major discussion issue was Ian Watmore's remit and powers.

William promises a revised version of the presentation will go up on the Ideal Government website before next week's meeting, and the blog will continue for the time being.
