Came to the office today to spend the entire day on video calls and forgot to bring my little fidget toy. This is not a good day

Bit late to this, but here’s my thoughts on Mission driven Government, and how we can get there when we are not structured around services. www.cathydutton.co.uk/posts/missio...

Not that it’s been a while or anything, but I tried to get my blog running locally today and had to install Node v8!

Having a week of realising we are still very much in a place where we make an inefficient process Digital, and then act surprised when it hasn’t fixed everything.

Ever do a bit of Monday and then regret the whole thing, I’ll like to re-start this week please 😂

At this point I should probably just give up.

Possibly for the very last time 💙

So far today I’ve read references to the familiar ‘3 Amigos’ along with ‘4 amigos’, and ‘many amigos’.

My kettle has broken, there are no words to describe how I feel about a day without tea :(

Come and work with me as a Lead Service Designer, we’ll be working in the same directorate- happy to chat if anyone wants more info.

Goodison Park deserved that ending 💙

📢 My team is hiring a Senior Delivery Manager to join us on the Education and Skills Funding service. Together we distribute over £76 billion to 25,000 providers across the education and skills sector. www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi...

For new arrivals - civil servants or those interested in the civil service go.bsky.app/PFA8PcZ

Hopefully this leads to digital government being viewed as one of the best places to work. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Loved my day at #ukgc25 thanks for convincing me to make a last minute trip @imhuyorks.bsky.social and @ideasintheround.bsky.social. So nice to speak to some gov heroes in real life.

Gonna be an early start tomorrow getting myself to my very first @ukgovcamp.bsky.social

Hello 🙂 I'm looking for my next public sector role and would appreciate your support. Let me know if you hear of anything or wanna catch up. #OpenToWork 💼 Preferably agile delivery manager. 📜 Open to contract, permanent or temporary roles. 🌎 Remote or based in Manchester, London or Sheffield.

1 and 2 are so so real, and sometimes made worse by digital delivery teams.

Not a bad venue for todays game, very bad result though.

Small teams are my fave kind of teams. They get more done, everyone works together and there’s less change of any misunderstandings

Today is National Day of Listening so here is a quote about listening, by Stephen R. Covey, that I have saved on my computer...

I’ve started a Bluesky list featuring some of the brilliant writers, designers, coders, editors, and others who’ve contributed to A List Apart “for people who make websites.” Are you on the list? zeldman.com/2024/11/24/a...

100% this, changing team structures or creating a new operating model isn’t easy though especially when your influence is restricted to the digital parts of a service. We need transformation across the team divides, whilst also continuing to deliver.

I also love websites 😂 and all the people in the comments sharing the own blogs 💛
