A grey and white banner for National Conversations, which includes the Welsh dragon and Scottish flag
25 years after devolution, itβs time to put digital technology at the heart of political debate in Wales and Scotland.
Transform Wales is part of the National Conversations initiative, bringing people together to open that discussion.
Follow on post from us on Missions, how they link to outcomes and how this can shift the dial of delivering real change in Wales.
There's a third post in this series on shifting from outputs to outcomes, still to come: funding teams to deliver, getting rid of the project mentality. Stay tuned!
I've just supported 'National Conversations' from
@transform.wales & @foundationsofthedigitalstate.com, a project to deliver a bookshelf of essential reads on digital government to every newly elected members of the Scottish Parliament and Senedd

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 - weβve got some new limited edition stickers on the way.

Castell Penrhyn. Fascinating place.
The family fortune - equivalent to billionaire status in its day came from Caribbean slavery and later from controlling one of the largest slate quarries in the world, in Bethesda.
Fascinating historical walk and talks today.
Weird faces on the intricate stone..
An appointment is an activity. A healthier life is a result.
If we want to move the needle on climate or health, we have to stop measuring what we spent and start measuring the difference we made.

Os ydym o ddifrif am hinsawdd neu iechyd, rhaid inni roiβr gorau i gyfrif gwariant a dechrau mesur effaith wirioneddol.

This press release mentions Cae Twmffat.
"Twmffat" ('toom-fat') is a Welsh term of endearment or mild insult meaning a "fool" or "idiot".
Derived from the word for a funnel. It is a popular, informal term in Welsh, occasionally used as "twmffat twpβ

A good day of exploring yesterday.
The bus service has improved significantly here in last 5-10 years. Driven by tourism to Eryri but something that benefits local too. The T10 and Sherpaβr Wyddfa make it so much more access by public transport.

A fine #caturday morning.
Just a dusting of snow on the lower hills. Curious about whatβs higherβ¦
No better way to end a week that felt like a bit of a battle at times.
Lovely social sauna. 3 friends and 3 strangers. Chatted for 90 mins - everything from storm overflows π© on yr Wyddfa, birch whipping techniques and theory of pleasure vrs pain. Cold lake. Colder shower. All in Cymraeg.

Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog wrth @willhaycardiff.bsky.social ei bod yn anfodlon gyda chyflymder trawsnewid digidol. Rydyn ni hefyd.
Maeβr broblem yn systemig - mae gennym amgylchedd lle maeβn haws siarad am newid nag yw hi iβw gyflawni mewn gwirionedd.
Darllenwch ein hymateb, a sut iβw 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.
Wow! Lovely π»
