Matt is a collaboration design specialist working with organisations to guide innovation opportunities from vision to reality. He has delivered over 30 innovation projects, primarily with government agencies.
His expertise ranges from the development of strategic frameworks for innovation, to designing and facilitating collaborative workshops, to managing the development of online collaboration platforms such as the Victorian Department of Business and Innovation’s Trade Mission 2.0 site (trade.vic.gov.au), and a transportation planning wiki for the Southern California Association of Governments.
Prior to joining Collabforge, Matt played a primary role organising a series of collaborative projects in his hometown of New York related to information technology, open government, and social change.
Matt has coordinated events for OneWebDay and the Twitter Vote Report initiative for the 2008 U.S. presidential elections. In 2009, Matt founded and organised the Open Gov NYC meetup collective, and also spearheaded the Participation Camp ‘unconference’ on citizen participation in government.
This hands-on experience is informed by Matt’s ongoing MA studies, examining how collaborative technologies allow organisations to harness the collective intelligence of their staff and stakeholders.
