I've asked @bforben.uk (not here, not sure he uses bsky!)

📣 We’d like to hear from you!

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I remember once when I worked at DLUHC, I found a catalogue in the office just for ordering High Sheriff clothing. It was incredible, wish I’d kept it

Love this! I’ve worked with one of the game’s designers Matteo before around using games in my policy making and he’s incredible to work with (also great climbing buddy)

Super happy to get my @ukgovcamp.bsky.social ticket in my inbox this morning 💌

I’ve never been before!

So good to see this live, after working on the first pilot a little while back - happy to see the emphasis on cybersecurity being a whole organisation collaborative effort!

Congrats @bforben.uk & team ❤️

It really resonates with some of my recent work, and the range of views we heard on how people view use of data and automation and relationships within the public sector.

AI Adoption I posted recently about the challenge of adoption of AI by the public sector. There are two sides to this: how the public sector adopts AI itself, and how the public adopts AI-driven public services.

I enjoyed this from @jenitennison.com about how we shouldn’t view tackling digital exclusion solely as how can we get everyone doing everything online, but instead to understand the different values people find in different tasks and interactions.
