"Gwnewch y pethau bychain" - Effaith sy'n cronni - Trawsnewid ar y cyd

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus.

“Gwnewch y pethau bychain.”

Sticker: Cartoon version of Goldie Looking Chain (the Newport rappers) - styled for St David's Day. The lead singer is dressed as St. David, holding a daffodil, with a Cymraeg flag behind. The sticker has text underneath with the famous phrase: "Gwnewch y pethau bychain" - do the small things.

Speaking of sticking - we’ve got some new limited edition stickers on the way.

"Gwnewch y pethau bychain" - do the small things. - Compounding impact - Collective transformation

Happy St David’s Day.

He famously said: "Gwnewch y pethau bychain" - do the small things.

So I've only just seen these stickers but if you ever needed further proof that @transform.wales have the absolute stuff, that Goldie Lookin' Chain sticker is it.

I mean their reports and tireless work to make Wales better, right.

But that STICKER!

Mae’r pwysau ar arweinwyr Cymru i fabwysiadu AI ym mhobman. Ond nid yw AI yn ateb gwyrthiol a fydd yn datrys ein holl broblemau cyllidebol ac effeithlonrwydd ar ei ben ei hun. Anaml y mae atebion hudol yn gweithio os yw’r diwylliant yn aros yr un fath.

The pressure on Welsh leaders to adopt AI is everywhere. But AI isn’t a miracle cure that’ll magically solve all our budget and efficiency woes. Silver bullets rarely work if the culture stays the same.

Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog wrth @willhaycardiff.bsky.social ei bod yn anfodlon gyda chyflymder trawsnewid digidol. Rydyn ni hefyd.

Mae’r broblem yn systemig - mae gennym amgylchedd lle mae’n haws siarad am newid nag yw hi i’w gyflawni mewn gwirionedd.

Darllenwch ein hymateb, a sut i’w drwsio.

The FM told @willhaycardiff.bsky.social she's frustrated with the pace of digital transformation. We are too.

The problem is systemic - we have an environment where it is easier to talk about change than to actually do it.

Read our response, and how to fix it.

Post gwych gan Jo - llwyth o stwff ymarferol

Inspired by attending @govcampcymru.bsky.social , me, @niacampbell.bsky.social and @monikasw.bsky.social have been working on this little website to help promote working in the open and digital resources in Wales…

Great new blog from Jo - lots of practical hints and tips

Welsh Government’s decision to absorb the Centre for Digital Public Services (CDPS) could be a turning point for digital delivery in Wales.

Done well, it embeds proven practice at the heart of government. Done badly, it risks losing five years of progress. 🧵

Gall penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i ymgorffori’r Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol (CDPS) fod yn drobwynt i gyflawni digidol yng Nghymru.

Os caiff ei wneud yn dda, bydd yn gwreiddio arferion da wrth galon y llywodraeth. Os na, mae perygl colli pum mlynedd o gynnydd. 🧵

Great to catch up share reflections and learnings this morning from GovCamp Scotland and GovCamp Wales’ this year.

Reflecting on growing communities and importance of unconferences for creating the space for conversations.

Diolch

At @govcampcymru.bsky.social, we ran a packed session on “A vision for public services in Wales”.

Around 40 people joined us to explore what great public service delivery could look like, and what’s holding us back.

Read our summary of the session here:

transform.wales/blog/2025/go...

Yn @govcampcymru.bsky.social, cyflwynon ni sesiwn ar "Gweledigaeth ar gyfer gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru".

Ymunodd tua 40 o bobl i archwilio sut olwg fyddai ar ddarparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus gwych, a beth sy'n ein dal yn ôl.

Darllenwch grynodeb y sesiwn: transform.wales/cy/blog/2025...

We had a brilliant day @govcampcymru.bsky.social 2025, where we officially launched the Transform Wales report, giving out about 60 printed copies and stickers.

A huge thanks to everyone who has been in touch since, and donated to our Crowdfunder to pay it forward.

From frustration to momentum: GovCamp Cymru 2025 There was a sense of community that’s been quietly building over the last year, and it really came through on the day.

Wrote a little something about this year's @govcampcymru.bsky.social.

Mor ddiolchgar am ddiwrnodau fel hyn!

What a brilliant day @govcampcymru.bsky.social on Friday! 💚

Great to meet so many people who care deeply about making a difference in Wales.

The positivity and sense of community was so heartening.

Am ddiwrnod gwych yn @govcampcymru.bsky.social ar ddydd Gwener! 💚

Roedd yn egnïol cwrdd â chymaint o bobl sy'n poeni'n fawr am wneud gwahaniaeth yng Nghymru.

Roedd y positifrwydd a'r ymdeimlad o gymuned yn wirioneddol galonogol.

It was quite a day!
My first pitch and a truly active participation in every session 😅
Just a year ago (as usually in these kinds of events) I'd be just listening and dying of anxiety when I wanted to say a word... but something clicked!
#GCcy25 thanks for that opportunity!
