It's me! And, more importantly, my Policy colleague Holly. Because Policy should be embedded in every cross-functional team in gov.

We're expanding the Service Manual on GOV.UK to all user groups + all service transformation topics. It needs to be broader to be effective. And gaps to fill include leadership, sustainability, continuous improvement when live... Help keep it up to date: www.gov.uk/service-manu... #govdigital

I am loving the blogging activity from MHCLG lately, and this is a great provocation for a post-Budget Friday mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/30/w... - skipping to the weekend with daydreams of solve-a-whole-problem systems-level policy design bouncing round my brain.

Designer Becky Miller from Defra writes about the challenges and opportunities of designing greener public policies and services 🌱 #GovDesign #ServiceDesign #SystemsThinking publicpolicydesign.blog.gov.uk/2024/09/26/h...

This is great from Defra - "In Defra we’re testing a new approach to service ownership […] This is our priority, to better understand whole services, how they’re performing and how we’ll make strategic decisions about how best to deliver them to our users" defradigital.blog.gov.uk/2024/10/08/d...

Trying to pull all/most of the responses to this together, I've put together some of my own reflections on the big questions around the "digital centre" here: connectedbydata.org/blog/2024/10...

Hi everyone, it’s our first post 😀 We’re here to talk about digital inclusion. We offer advice for councils, by councils. Looking forward to sharing in this space.

So, gang, I am in this group helping DSIT put some flesh on the bones of a future vision for digital public services, and what being the digital centre for government means. Hit me up with your reckons / pointers. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Important reminder from Judith Mühlenhoff: “Our thinking does not match our reality”, talking about #SystemThinking at the Intl #GovDesign #Helsinki Conference 2024

A vision for joined-up government that's centred around people's needs... 🙏 Finnish design leader Anni Leppanen opening the international #govdesign conference in Helsinki.

Happy Friday! We are recruiting midlevel Service Designers! Are you looking for a new exciting role in a department where you can really make a difference? We'd love to see your application. www.jobtrain.co.uk/justicedigit...

It would be great if this definition can help further grow our focus on users while enabling the scope of a service to be more well-defined by outcomes. Especially if a mission-led gov can bring new opportunities for designing *whole services* services.blog.gov.uk/2024/09/25/h...

What a government service is: "When we talk about a service, we mean all the things that government collectively provides to deliver an outcome for all of its users, through any path a user takes to reach their goal." #govdesign #govdigital #services #servicedesign

@lisajeffery.bsky.social hello I am on this thing

Also, new here is @nedgartside.bsky.social 👏

While chatting with @priyanca.bsky.social and @vickytnz.bsky.social at #SDinGOV yesterday, we landed on a great talk title: “Dangerous dogs and high-risk cheese - a day in the life of DEFRA” – can someone make this happen next year, please?

Glad I did the walk up Arthur’s Seat yesterday 👋🌞 I’d recommend it if you can. Now looking forward to the final day at #SDinGov
