PechaKucha Night Manchester Vol. 39 - 'Improv'
Join us for an experimental PechaKucha where we are challenging 8 speakers to completely improvise their talk on the night!

I’m fairly sure if I did a masters thesis in service design it would be on the self-service checkouts and the confusion on what items count in a supermarket meal deal…

I just finished shortlisting 215 applications for the NHS App Lead Product Manager role.
My back hurts. My eyes hurt. My brain hurts. But here are some things I noticed plus some tips in case you ever want to apply for a role like this in future.

Do ‘re-watch clubs’ exist?
Like a book club but to re-watch a talk and then chat about it after?
I have so many interesting events/sessions on my to watch list where I missed the live session.
But I need accountability to view them and people to chat to about them afterward…

🚨Geeky research klaxon🚨
Am extremely pleased to see HM Treasury publish their 'areas of research interest'. Have seen other departments do this but can't remember HMT doing it before 👏🏼
Lots in there but am very excited for the public service reform areas - transformational and place based 🙌🏻

Bit of a long short, but at Design for Planet last week I was talking to someone who mentioned schools being used as points to distribute food i.e. schools being zero waste shops for families to top up on essentials.
Does this exist? Am I dreaming?

I do! I took part in a doughnut economics one a couple of years back which was ace. I hadn’t seen this one, though, so I’ll take a look! Are you doing it?
