HeX Productions

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Following the success of GovJam Nottingham 2018 we have decided to open the event for next year.  This will help those of you who are interested to stay up to date with what was achieved in 2018 and our plans for 2019. (Exact date to be confirmed)</H2>

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Introduction to Global GovJam</H2>
Global GovJam is an international event that applies tools and techniques of service design to the world of government and the public sector. Working around a common theme, small teams meet at multiple locations to prototype innovative approaches to challenges faced by the public sector. At the end of the two days, they upload their results and publish them for the world to see.
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">A bit of background</H3>
GovJam had grown from the initial idea which forms a Global Service Jam. Each Jam is a non-profit volunteer activity organized by an informal network of service design afficinados, who all share a common passion for growing the field of service design and customer experience.
The first <A HREF="http://planet.globalservicejam.org/" TARGET="_self" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Service Jam</A> took place in March 2011, where more than 1200 participants in more than 50 cities created around 200 unique service designs around the Theme "(Super)HEROES".
A sister event, the <A HREF="http://www.globalsustainabilityjam.org/" TARGET="_self" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Sustainability Jam</A>, took place in October 2011. Around 800 participants in more than 40 cities created over 100 services, products and initiatives around the theme "PLAYGROUNDS".
In 2012, the first GovJam was initiated by Protopartners, The Australian federal Government and WorkPlayExperience. WorkPlayExperience initiated the global version, <A HREF="http://www.govjam.org/" TARGET="_self" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global GovJam</A>, in 2013.

Do you have the passion to make a difference?
HeX Productions are organising the first GovJam in Nottingham and would like to encourage collaboration between the local authorities, the NHS, national government departments, as well as the private and voluntary sectors. What they all have in common is a curiosity to try new ways of working together around public sector opportunities and issues.
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">The Agenda</H3>
We have 48 hours to rock the public sector:
