Local councils are often stuck duplicating efforts, building slightly different versions of the same solutions. But what if they collaborated instead?

Will Callaghan breaks down how a co-op model could transform technology used in local government - shifting resources from redundant systems to real innovation in research, content, and service design.

[Video description: This video is presented in black and white. The guest, Will Callaghan is sitting on a sofa in an office, facing host Paul. The first shot shows Paul's profile as he asks, “What other, either systems or applications within local government would, do you see, need to be completely overhauled and modernised, either with open source technology or perhaps automation or standardisation? Let's put it that way.” Will replies: “I think there's a model. I use co-ops model as a shorthand. The model that Local Gov Drupal has been able to pioneer. It's saying, actually, the users of this technology can band together and think about common needs. It's not 20 people building 20 different variations of the same thing. It's actually 20 people grouping, gathering together and building one thing, and allowing slight variations within it. I think that model really works. I think the funding of it is really interesting. We're not spending this money necessarily 20 times. We're spending slightly lower on one thing. In some cases, it's not about reducing spend. It's actually about moving spend to different things. We're not spending money on the stack. We're spending on research instead, or content design, or service design. I think it's spending it on the things that we really need to spend it on." As he finishes speaking, the Think Tank logo appears on a black background.
