Don't forget to use some topics that break their standard patterns when thinking. This is one of the best hooks to draw attention, as Chip and Dan Heath explain in their book "Made to Stick". Anyway good luck! I think that you have a good plan for the discussion.

1) Show them what’s the reality.
2) Show them how they behave (you said it very well in the part with their own rules)
3) Tell them how they can improve.

Don’t forget to use some topics that break their standard patterns when thinking. This is one of the best hooks to draw attention, as Chip and Dan Heath explain in their book “Made to Stick”.

Anyway good luck!

Why are you always called upon to speak at Government conferences and things of that in nature? Not that you aren't qualified, however I noticed that you are constantly a point of contact for government agencies trying to innovate. Did you previously work on projects in the government?

I hope they truly "get" the SOCIAL in social media. It is about engagement, conversation, back & forth, give & take and, dare I say, listening to constituents. A good opportunity Aaron.

They are limited by deadlines, time or word requirements and editors breathing down their necks. Your only limit is how many words you can write that you know people would actually read. Since they are limited and you are not, that’s one of the most important benefits of citizen journalism, you can provide more information.
