This statement really resonates - lets work with our users to understand their needs and develop Government digital services that work for our users!
“If government wants to unlock digital services, it’s in the tiny things… the bins, the services for school kids… the things that don’t quite work that ought to work… maybe the job of government is to make things better rather than to make new things” - Rachel Coldicutt

The downside of linear planning is that you make the biggest decisions when you know the least about the problem. You plan a policy in theory, and then you roll it out, and often even legislate, before you’ve tried the policy on for size medium.com/@jamestplunkett/t… @jamestplunkett

So much inspiration @CreativeBrainWk
How might we:
at the thresholds, the margins of our disciplines, transcend to serve the marginalised?
work together to mend; to identify what can be mended and what can't?
recognise and value the liminal space of art & science?

In my time in @iLab_NI I’ve tried to advocate for Design across @HeadNICS . This article by Prof. @_JonathanSlater lays out both the need and value to NICS, citizens and Ministers in a very relatable way through his learned experience. If you can spare 5 mins please have a read.

Yesterday @iLab_NI launched our service-wide training, introducing Leadership Program participants to #behaviouralscience. After 8yrs' project work, building awareness of the field and its importance, it's nothing short of a delight to watch the organisation embrace it.

A really interesting article from @beckymiller33 detailing the difference between #design and #digitaldesign. The #servicedesigners in @iLab_NI have experience of both and recognise the important distinction between them - really worth the 5 minute read.
