Kristin - headshot The Bright Side of Government and @Microsoft_Gov have a lot of government friends from around the world and today’s post is dedicated to them. I personally think Government is an industry where folks really try to learn from others and use best practices, instead of always trying to recreate the wheel. Even though Governments are different at every level, size and location, they have one thing in common – citizens.

So please use today’s post to learn about some great best practices that you can use from Peru to Timbuktu, from Spain to Maine, from … ok, that is enough with the rhyming :) If you know of other best practices, please share them here via the comments or send me the info and I will post it as a blog.

And if you are looking for a place to meet and learn from some of the best in Government, I suggest Govloop – who just happened to send out a great recap (shown below) of their friends from around the world.

(Note – to access the links from govloop, you need to be a member – I promise it’s worth it!)

Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom

In the past week alone, GovLoop has communicated with government innovators from each of the nations above. And some of the recent content that they've featured from around the world includes:

They also have several groups that are international in flavor - some that were just added in the past week!

And then there are groups for International Relations Majors, International Development, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers in Government.

I also have many counterparts on the Microsoft World Wide Government team – they are a great bunch of folks. They have a website if you are interested in getting to government specific solutions and partners for your country.
