XBRL - A Language for the Government 2.0 World

Featuring Liv Apneseth Watson, Senior Executive, IRIS Business Services

• Discover how Governments are using XBRL
• Discover how XBRL will be instrumental in enhanced transparency of the public sector
• Discover how XBRL will help bridge the information gap between diverse information

Governments around the world are adopting the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). XBRL reduces the regulatory burden on companies that must provide large amounts of information to government. XBRL enhances interoperability of information sharing. XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of financial and non-financial data which is revolutionizing reporting around the world. It provides major benefits in the preparation, analysis and communication of information. It offers cost savings, greater efficiency and improved accuracy and reliability to all those involved in supplying or using data.

In this session, we will examine how XBRL supports the movement to more openness and transparency in all activities of government and present best practices from around the world with XBRL implementations.

Our speaker, Liv Apneseth Watson, is a senior executive at IRIS Business Services and serves on the board of directors of IRIS, MediaTenor, and the Institute of Management Accountants. She is one of the founding members of XBRL International, a member of the XBRL International Steering Committee, Vice President of XBRL International Membership Working Group and served XBRL International in several different capacities over the years.

ICGFM Sustaining Members Publish: Embracing Government 2.0

Embracing Government 2.0: Leading transformation change in the public sector

Grant Thornton and FreeBalance White Paper

This white paper is co-authored by Government 2.0 thought leaders Martha Batorski, Director at Grant Thornton, and Doug Hadden, Vice President of Products at FreeBalance. "Government 2.0 is driving transformation in transparency, participation and collaboration," said Doug Hadden, Vice President of Products at FreeBalance. "Our vision is that knowledge management and collaboration are integral to Government Resource Planning."
The FreeBalance Grant Thornton paper was encapsulates the essence of a series of articles from the FreeBalance Sustainable Public Financial Management blog to respond to a growing demand among Grant Thornton clients for greater clarity on what leaders need to do different to successfully transition to Government 2.0. Articles about Government 2.0 received substantial interest and attention from social enterprises and the broader public financial management community. The white paper shows how to employ effective change management skills in the emerging Government 2.0 open environment and describes the new skills and mindsets government leaders need to adopt to address and the many, emerging new challenges they face.

Embracing Government 2.0 Leading Trans Formative Change in the Public Sector

Martha Batorski has over 20 years experience leading business transformation initiatives in the public and private sector. She is currently leading Grant Thornton’s Government 2.0 and Change Management 2.0 practice in the Global Public Sector. And, she was a recent speaker at the Potomac Forum February 2009 Conference on "Planning and Implementing Social Media and Open Government Strategy and Efforts: What Executives and Managers Need to Know " in Washington DC.

Martha Batorski writes about a key difference in leading change in the Government 2.0 era. “Traditional change management frameworks work for a mandated, roll-out of change – where change is pushed to a target audience. Change Management in the Web 2.0 era (Change 2.0) is more peer-to-peer, viral – change is pulled by participants, constituents, employees, customers. One key difference for leaders is in the need to engage with others, to convert value from the network into meaningful products and services and knowledge, and to quickly identify practical solutions to challenges.”

Doug Hadden has over 20 years of management, sales, marketing and product management experience. He has been instrumental in creating a vision for GRP software that incorporates Web 2.0 collaboration and content. Recently, Mr. Hadden hosted an interactive session detailing how Government 2.0 will transform the practice of government performance and public financial management. And he participated on the "Government 2.0: The Next Wave of Open Government?" panel at the ICGFM Winter 2009 conference.
