(8)“There’s two models of care: innocent until proven guilt and guilty until proven innocent” Governments need to decide how they approach caring for people and often the default is the latter. “But what is the cost of not trusting people?” Martha Steward on trust and government at #fwd50 #servicedesign #humancentreddesign #gcdigital #gcdata
@sboots makes the case that developers working in the open opens things up to scrutiny. This can result in better outcomes. #fwd50
Does this also help establish trust? Developers productivity is literally out there for the public to observe. Certainly we dont want ppl to feel monitored/surveilled, but possibly some sort of public accountability/progress can be beneficial?
When I hear Catherine Luelo at #fwd50, I have a hard time understanding why the work on a GC Design System hasn't been properly resourced in the past. I have some hope, now sur CDS, DTO and PP are in the same "area", but oof, we were trying so hard to make strides on a that front 5 years ago, with very little progress... It breaks my heart a little.
If you are attending #fwd50 and are reading this on Mastodon, we probably have a lot in common and please follow me :)

I have to actually work today so I'll be listening to #fwd50 but not posting as much ;)
Important reflection question from the audience for @tomski “how to we keep from being pushed out?”: Radical change is radical risk and not every environment will allow it at scale. Look for the small things where you can apply and win emotional debates by showing the results instead of trying to win intellectual debates [on untested assumptions]. #fwd50 #digitaltransformation #radicalhow #gcdigital #gcdata
“Liam is worth the risk.” @tomski on working radically in government for outcomes for real people. #gcdigital #GCdata #fwd50
Actually, and more disturbingly, what if governments advertised like all these private healthcare providers that have been trying to get my business lately...
Not pleased by them, by the way. Seem to be the answer to the question, "what if I paid taxes, but only for things that benefit me directly" but I also don't begrudge anyone who can't get service from the existing public system.
"Trust is built by doing what you say you're doing to do. it's built by delivery" - Catherine Luelo #fwd50
I honestly had never heard the complicated/complex split - complex systems can't be fully known in the way that complicated systems can.
Designing solutions with Modularity is another part of dealing with complexity. #FWD50
#FWD50
the plan is the plan until it changes - need to start with the understanding that the solution is unknowable at the start. "Go where the hamsters are friendly."
My own reflection is that I don’t yet know how to put my own oxygen mask on first. Being in the government since 2014, working on #GCData, has been being chronically burned out for 9 years and not always feeling like I’ve made a difference. I keep coming back because it’s worth it, but I worry it won’t continue to be up to me unless I change my own how as well. #gcdigital #DigitalTransformation #fwd50
