An open government implementation model: moving to increased public 
engagement.

This report presents an Open Government Implementation Model (OGIM) for 
guiding government agencies towards open government. 

Our model defines four implementation stages and describes the focuses, 
deliverables, benefits, challenges, best practices, and metrics for stages

A key tenet of the Implementation Model is that government agencies 
should advance their open government initiatives incrementally, focusing 
on one implementation stage at a time. 

Starting from increasing data transparency (Stage One), the process moves 
on to improving open participation (Stage Two), enhancing open 
collaboration (Stage Three), and realizing ubiquitous engagement (Stage 
Four). 

We argue that by following this sequence, agencies can minimize risk and 
effectively harness the power of social media in order to engage the 
public.
