<blows the dust off> Yes of course the civil service can and should be more effective. But thinking that that can happen while everything else stays the same is delusional. As we go round this loop yet again, it is true as ever that if you want to change the system, you have to change the system.

If you want to change the system, you have to change the system

If you want to change a system, you have to understand the system you want to change. If you want to reform the civil service, you have to understand why it is the way it is. Part of that is undoub…

Spotted what I can only describe as this squadron of snails yesterday in the rain 🤷‍♂️

Excited to finally share the news that last year I had the unexpected opportunity to co-author a book chapter on culture and leadership with my boss - and its now going to be in a real life printed book! aqrinternational.co.uk/product/who-...

What a day! @ukgovcamp.bsky.social was a blast! 💥 Had a lot of fun meeting govcampers old and new. Thanks for great conversations and lovely spaces for connecting. Exciting to see the govcamp tribe grow with #ukgcXL living up to its name with so many people there. …and now time for 😴😴😴

That #UKGCXL was mega! Lovely to experience it as a camper/attendee for the first time in 7 years. Beyond dreamy to catch up with everyone - even though I missed a bunch of folks in the crowds. Big sparkly congratulations and thank you to the @ukgovcamp.bsky.social Organisers & Campmakers. 👏🏻✨💗

Obligatory early morning (and sleepy) pre- @ukgovcamp.bsky.social train station selfie #ukgcXL

Two more sleeps till the BIG @ukgovcamp.bsky.social event this Saturday! Who’s EXCITED! 🙌🎉 #ukgcXL 💫

Only 8 more sleeps until @ukgovcamp.bsky.social on 20th January. A few final things to organise, and the excitement is really starting to build now 🥳 Oh, and you can still register until 5:30 today (12th Jan) if you haven’t already got your place!

How have people been tricked into believing that, because the carriage of the message door to door has been sped up by a day, they should speed up the mentally intensive work of reading and replying by a week or so?

Unexpected benefit of writing weeknotes #153: it’s good practice in articulating the things that aren’t going well. Identifying and naming problems is the first step to resolving them.

The govcamp23 video 😍 Looking forward to a trip to London in January for the next one.
