[weeknote] Week Eight: #FWD50 Fun and Family Losses
https://digitalbydefault.com/2023/11/09/week-eight-fwd50-fun-and-family-losses/
Dished out something like 200 stickers at #fwd50 over the 3 days - hope I get to see some of them on laptops or wherever in the future - always makes me smile. Especially when people don't know where they came from.
That is #FWD50 all done for me - finished with a lovely bunch of round table chats about hiring, retention and more.
Thanks to all my Canadian crew for a great 3 days and to the organisers for a wonderful and well run event! See you next year maybe 🤔
Loved @honeygolightly ‘s talk - it was honest and authentic, full of heart and not short of challenge to the digital gov orthodoxy - brilliant! #FWD50
Watching the introverts introvert @honeygolightly weaponising her awkwardness at #FWD50 ❤️
This afternoon at #fwd50 I am a 'mentor' talking about hiring and retention over in the Workshop space https://www.fwd50.com/session/1229/mentor-meetups-convo-codes
I will have cookies and stickers in an attempt to bribe people to come say hello so I'm not Billy No Mates for an hour
Aaron and the crew about to start talking about open source in government at #fwd50
Amy Kirtay talking about the work in British Columbia on their Digital Code of Practice and especially the work they've been doing to create content to support the principles to show the *how* and how they tried to work in the open to create the code of practice - 😍 #fwd50
I do think (and I've said it before) that it all needs a refresh - or at least a formal reflection. It has been a decade plus and there is too much dogma now. We (and I'm part of the problem) failed to be agile about it all - we missed out on the interate, iterate, iterate element! #fwd50
