Leveraging Collaborative Governance: How Co-production Contributes to Outcomes and Public Value in a Small Town
2020
Collaborative governance is increasingly considered an effective approach to improve outcomes and public value. This chapter focuses on co-production as an instrument to implement collaborative governance at local level. It is not uncommon that small towns develop co-production processes to deliver cultural and touristic services. Out of a literature review, the study develops a Dynamic Multidimensional Performance Management framework to explore the impact of co-production on community outcomes. To this end, this chapter discusses the case “Museo Civico di Castelbuono (MCC)”,which concerns the co-production process of the guided tour of the museum’s venue. The resulting model provides insi…
I luoghi periferici in cui si abilita intelligenza collettiva
2019
Nelle periferie urbane in cui coesistono ampi margini alla modificazione, un surplus di spazi interstiziali e marginali, negli ultimi anni si sta dispiegando la proliferazione di esperienze che aprono il campo a un diverso modo di trasformare le città, in una sorta di resilienza locale alla crisi e al conseguente vuoto di welfare sociale. Uno sguardo alle pratiche in corso sembra indicare una tendenza a spostare l'asset di sviluppo dalla patrimonializzazione immobiliare ad una economia della conoscenza, in cui i beni dismessi si offrano come piattaforme abilitanti dell'azione collettiva, dispositivi spaziali in cui incanalare l'innovazione attraverso il riciclo. Se il Piano Periferie promos…
mCLT: an application for collaborative learning on a mobile telephone
2005
Mobile technologies offer new opportunities for distance learning and enable people to collaborate anywhere. This paper introduces an innovative mobile platform for computer-supported collaborative learning in which traditional methodologies of collaboration have been improved, based on 3rd-generation mobile telephones. Students can collect and share live data immediately, anywhere and at any time. This enables them to play an active role in the knowledge-building process. The mCLT is potentially an application for ubiquitous collaborative learning.
A Collaborative Tool for Designing and Enacting Design Processes
2009
Today several approaches using Situational Method Engineering paradigm exist, each of them proposes methods and techniques for developing ad-hoc design processes. In this context heavy efforts were spent in the construction of appropriate tools that could help method engineers in producing a specific design process and in using it. We developed a tool called Metameth for supporting the design process definition and its enactment. Metameth is implemented as a multi-agent system, where each agent is capable of reasoning and adapting itself in order to support the designer in performing different kinds of design activities.
A visual framework to support collaborative coding activities
2019
In this paper, we present a framework named SIRENE, a Web-based visual programming environment, where teachers and students can collaboratively interact, using a flexible and versatile definition of visual programming code instead of pre-established rules. After the description of the architecture of the SIRENE framework, the preliminary results of a pilot trial with secondary school students will be presented; these results will lead to the final remarks and directions for further developments.
Applying Dynamic Performance Management to foster collaborative governance in Higher Education: A conceptual framework
2020
Higher education is characterized by growing complexity and uncertainty, which highlight how wicked issues cannot be addressed by one organization acting alone. A collaborative governance approach is here proposed to tackle these issues. Such a perspective has been implemented widely, from public services design and delivery to infrastructure development and environmental protection. Although higher education is not less critical than the above areas, less attention has been paid to collaborative governance in this feld. To foster collaborative governance in higher education, based on a literature review, we develop a conceptual framework using the dynamic performance management approach. T…
Enhancing repopulation in a decaying historical neighborhood through collaborative networking: A Dynamic Performance Governance approach
2022
Historic centers, as the internationally recognized heritage of the cities, and among the most valuable assets in urban Italy, have been underutilized, devitalized, and wasted (Pellegrini & Micelli, 2019). In fact, urban degradation has been pervasive and remaining also in other industrialized countries (Serrano et al., 2016). Many historic centers have been affected by urban deterioration and depopulation for the past two centuries (Pough & Wan, 2007), and the problem persists today. This research underlines the importance of employing a collaborative governance perspective in designing policies, in terms of not only fostering effective local governments' agendas but also promote active ci…
Enhancing the Performance of Chinese High Education Institutions through Collaborative Governance: A Dynamic Performance Management Approach
2021
With the development of the knowledge economy, knowledge generation and application has been a powerful engine for economic development and global competition. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are under great pressure to improve their performance in teaching, research and the third mission, to respond to the changing social needs actively. This doctoral thesis is aimed at proposing a framework to enhance the performance of Chinese HEIs through collaborative governance using a dynamic performance management approach. Based on a literature review of performance management in Chinese HEIs, a conceptual framework is proposed to enhance the performance of teaching, research and the third mis…
Looking at the impact of collaborative policies on intangibles and outcomes through dynamic performance governance
2023
The Etorkizuna Eraikiz (EE) case study provides thought-provoking insights on the role of intangibles as driving forces for a collaborative network governance primarily lead by the civil society. Among such factors are: 1) social cohesion around core values rooted in cultural traditions (e.g. language and gastronomy); 2) natural and historical assets; 3) human and social capital; and 4) policy innovation. All of them are at the same time framed in an ideal continuity with history, and consistently transposed into the future (Bianchi et al., 2019, p. 104). The fast and intensive growth in both the collaborative network and the achieved outcomes experienced since the inception of the EE ‘mode…
Principled Governance: Politics to the People
2022
An influential narrative claims that the erosion of the modern nation state is causing a historical shift from «government» to «governance». Society-centred new modes of governance are displacing state-centric tools of government. Shaped by bottom-up pressures, these changes are in the process of engendering a more democratic and functionally differentiated type of agency – the Networked Polity. The paper challenges this narrative. It claims that extant governance networks are merely means for co-opting specific societal actors. For, the societal actors operating within those networks are given much reduced powers than the ones conceded to them in the past by declining neo-corporate arrange…
