Desk for the day! 🏡 Kids back in school, a few calls scheduled, working from home, and my Lapsang Souchong tea making its comeback. ☕️ #WFH
September is here & the kids are back to school tomorrow—time flies! While I wait for the date of my Viva on public sector transformation, I’m also planning some exciting stuff at The OU with our Design, Product, Arch and Engineering professions to be even better at how we deliver our services!
Hey Bluesky! 🌟 Gian here, a Chilean living in the UK. I’m all about shaking things up in organisations that want to be their best—from government to education services. Ready to connect, share ideas, and keep pushing boundaries! Give me a shout 😉
