Just a note from a citizen's perspective (with 2 decades of watching these kind of initiatives develop). We're at the point now where we have many OPMers experimenting on various engagement platforms, like NHS citizen, etc. You've made your (very good) list of Tools and Techniques here. Others have done the same. e.g. https://www.gov.uk/community-development-framework and https://gdssocialmedia.blog.gov.uk/
What we don't have yet is a group of OPMers collaborating to build a standard approach and some common tools (and places) for engaging with their outside worlds. In education they use open "virtual classrooms" and MooCs to help people get into the open online culture. Trying to train people behind a closed civil service door to be open simply can't work.
So would you consider introducing an open classroom, which we might use to grow the OPM community, while helping to standardize the tools and techniques they may find useful, while including outsiders to be involved with their co-creation. It would certainly help with addressing the concept of Sharing a service as opposed to insiders Deliver them. Cheers.
