“a tendency to impose purity tests on those they will campaign with, overestimating how many people share their views, and using language that is inaccessible to the wider public is potentially driving a backlash against progressive causes rather than helping them to win people over”

Colleagues and I spent much of a 3 month discovery on NHS appointment booking documenting all the ways it ISN’T (and can’t be) like booking a plane ticket. Despite senior Drs who should know better thinking it was.

There's been recent focus on hiring designers from big-name tech companies (lnkd.in/eEjxq8EQ). Their skills are impressive, no doubt. But in today’s climate of cost-saving, organisations need designers with the hard-earned experience of a transformation. www.katherinewastell.com/blog/designi...

£126bn and 2.4 million people. That’s the size of the creative industries in the UK and every DCMS Minister has had to fight HMT and Number 10 over support. That’s about 10x the size of the motor industry and 4 x more productive. Fishing? Less than £500 million.
