Hi folks! 👋I'm keen to have a chat with anyone who has knowledge of product owner type roles that work with customised off the shelf systems, ideally in a local government setting. Thanks in advance!

"Transformation isn’t about forcing change through sheer will. It's about creating environments where testing and learning feels natural and inevitable." public.digital/pd-insights/...

Understanding behaviour: designing conditions where test and learn thrives

Test-and-learn flourishes when you design environments aligned with human behaviour - overcoming biases, celebrating small wins, embracing transparency, and funding stable teams.

[Make things open] Picking a platform digitalbydefault.com/2025/06/08/m... When I am yabbering on about working in the open I sometimes get asked my opinion about what platform to use so I decided to write my really basic advice up for any future asks.

[Make things open] Picking a platform

As a side-effect of my evangelism for working in the open I semi-regularly get asked for recommendations about which publishing platform someone should use and how they should get started. Firstly …

👋 Anyone got great examples of annual report / review for a public sector org? Accessible, no fluff and waffle, to the point. HTML not designed for print as vanity document? Bonus point if you have any evidence to back up design approach?

Klarna, the company that got so much press for dropping customer service and replacing them with AI, is now saying that they are now going to "become the best at offering a human to speak to." Great stuff!

We just had an epiphany: in a world of Al nothing will be as valuable as humans! .•• Ok you can laugh at us for realizing it so late, but we are going to kick off work to allow Klarna to become the best at offering a human to speak to!!! So excited about this, more to come! We will continue to invest and improve our Al support. But the truth is the cost savings it generates and improvement in quality. Allows us to double down on making sure the human service part of Klarna becomes even better. More to come!

"Cash strapped politicians are always on the lookout for quick fixes – which is fertile ground for bad ideas" paulitaylor.com/2024/10/20/t... < Really good post by @paulitaylor.bsky.social on the thinking behind the weight loss jobs

The Anatomy of a Bad Idea

Bad ideas can share several features: They take a complex problem and apply a one-shot solution: the silver bullet that ignores the root cause. They are easy to understand, and don’t require …
