"When we take our teams' experience for granted, we set up subconscious expectations to accept substandard public service." @honeygolightly #fwd50
I just spent an hour at a workshop on data and analytics where I was ostensibly an expert. Instead, I got to cohost and moderate a discussion among the extraordinary conferees at #FWD50, who quickly shared the depth and bread of their expertise in public service, & tried to nurture open conversations that created far more value than we captured. A reminder of what a privilege it is to be here & of the latent & applied knowledge within this community.
@honeygolightly speaking at #fwd50 is using the example of digital teams but a lot of what she is talking about applies to every functional area in government
Loved @honeygolightly ‘s talk - it was honest and authentic, full of heart and not short of challenge to the digital gov orthodoxy - brilliant! #FWD50
Always “bring the human into the work.” So much focus on user needs, loving your users, but Riley reminded us that our teams are human, too. #FWD50
Indeed, the best teams I’ve been on have “loved” each other as much as their users. Caring for each other, having each others’ backs, and generally focused on health and belonging.
Watching the introverts introvert @honeygolightly weaponising her awkwardness at #FWD50 ❤️
