Now that we’re hearing and reading more and clearer articulations of ‘The Big Society’ ideas, but apparently not producing any handy diagrams or infographics on the subject, I’ve spend a half hour trying to visualise the key themes and areas of the Big Society idea…
Policy wonks and central-London twitterati, please keep in mind this is based on recent press coverage and not on deep reading. It’s a casual “view from the man in Stoke-on-Trent”, so-to-speak, just to get the concept straight in my head.

Nice stuff!
If its OK with you I’ll try and use this at some point. Meanwhile, what do you think of this attempt of mine to explain it: http://bit.ly/dvc55T

Good work. I suspect the “policy wonks & central-London twitterati” (no idea who they are *cough*) have been spending too much time focusing on cuts, and how Big Society can ease the process of withdrawing from services.

I like this. With your permission I’d like to use it in a presentation I’m putting together for the Beyond 2010 conference in Brum this week. I have 10mins to talk about blogging/digital/Big Society.

Think the image is fab! I’m doing a lot of work on personalisation, and there are mutual links/ideas with this and in your image of Big Society. Don’t suppose you fancy doing a similar exercise for personalisation?! I’d be eternally grateful!
