@ForgabhAnLa @jsforestell @SkinnerDenis @sboots I think it requires a whole paradigm shift in thinking about providing services. ‘If we build they will come approach’ to websites doesn’t fit as neatly with public services compared to the private-for-profit websites.

“Tech brains are being recruited from the private sector to work on fellowships inside the public sector, but some say the federal government shouldn't just be borrowing talent — it needs to figure out a way to hang on to it.” #GCDigital https://t.co/6sLVMg2tBU

@LaurentGoderre @gcote @mrcharbon In fact, AEM is being replaced with Drupal with the #BetaCanadasite by the same contractors and bureaucrats who are regrouping under a different Dept to use ‘optimization bandaids’ to the broken site that they created.

What more evidence do you need? #canadadotca #GCDigital

[CitizenFirstUX @CitizenFirstUX]

@LaurentGoderre @gcote @mrcharbon The cost over runs and how the site was scaled down from ‘millions of pages of all govt sites’ to five departments is a matter of public record.

Not to mention the cost of AEM that was foisted on Depts with millions of tax payer $ is also a miserable failure.

[CitizenFirstUX @CitizenFirstUX]

@LaurentGoderre @gcote @mrcharbon While it’s true silos exist, it was the total incompetence of the bureaucrats to envision and the contractors who led them on the garden path. The UCD methodologies existed then and so are the bandaids that are used now at exorbitant cost to the tax payer #canadadotca #GCdigital

[CitizenFirstUX @CitizenFirstUX]

@LaurentGoderre @gcote @mrcharbon It is sad when the same contractors and bureaucrats who are responsible for creating the mess in the first place, pretend to save the sinking ship with dubious methodologies and band aids! #canadadotca 👇👇👇

@CelesteCote @singhav8r Not sure where to start. Hard to articulate in short tweets, but, let me try.. #CanadaDotCa was not designed using a true #UCD process. Web metrics were collected from Depts to come up with ‘Top tasks’ which fall short of end-to-end service design of citizen services /1
