Fantastic talk by @sboots on what ails government tech in Canada — and elsewhere — and what could be done to fix it, without a shoutout to @Marthalanefox’ paper in 2010 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/directgov-2010-and-beyond-revolution-not-evolution-a-report-by-martha-lane-fox & @govuk & @GDSTeam since. Humble, smart, inspiring. #fwd50
Watching @acroll kick off @fwd50conf.
