CovJam: Citizens in the driving seat (via IBMSmarterPlanetUK)

Coventry City Council wanted to engage in deeper, more dynamic conversations with all stakeholders about future directions for the city of Coventry. The city ran a three-day IBM Jam, enabling more than 800 different stakeholders to engage in debate in an interactive online forum. IBM and the Council are using sophisticated analytical tools to dig deep into the resulting data and unearth valuable insight and intelligence that will guide and inspire the city in its journey to becoming a Smarter City.
