[Digital-Mentor] David Wilcox on Digital Mentor collaboration

"The consortium forming to bid on open innovation principles for the
UK Government's £900,000 Digital Mentor programme now has a strong
partner in the UK Online Centres network, as managing director Helen
Milner confirms here.

Dave Briggs has been promoting the idea of an open bid for the
network, as I wrote earlier. The idea is to invite anyone interested
to join in an open process to evolve the proposal, rather like the
Open Innovation Exchange process that Simon Berry of Ruralnet, I and
others tried last year. (We made a short list of four).

As Helen reports, Dave, Simon, Helen, her colleague Anne Faulker and I
met up this week to see if we could work out a joint approach. It can
be difficult for large "official" bodies to join in the less
conventional approaches of social entrepreneurs and social media types
- so it was doubly heartening to find Helen and Anne so enthusiastic.
It bears out my previous friendly contact with the organisation."
