The UKGovCamp logo with a bit of the Birmingham Canal system on, which is at slightly the wrong angle.

I’ve used my 10minute of skill. I’ve gone back to the canal. I didn’t have the patience to fudge the removal of the River Thames.

And pop in some of the famous Birmingham canals.

What a good read, to say I’m looking forward to reading the next installment already would be to gloss over all the wisdom contained within this one but to boil it down just to my take would be too reductionist.

Awesome. Thank you.

Mori Yuzan and Hamonshu: Japanese Wave Designs Mori Yuzan's "Hamonshu: Japanese Wave Designs," not only showcases his innovation but also underscores the enduring significance of wave motifs in Japanese culture.

Stumbled across Mori Yuzan’s wave design series via the internet archive - this link works on mobile theartofzen.org/mori-yuzan-a... which resonated really deeply. Beautiful.

Welcome to the archives.

Building bridges across boundaries — Part two Implications for changemakers when forging new and different paths in uncertain times

I have written a second essay on what it means to govern in a time of radical uncertainty, and the ability to respond to and cope with crises.

This blog post is a messy, imperfect, and personal reflection. I am sharing it nevertheless.

Check out this moment from Dept. Q | Episode 4, starting at 10:12 till 12:00 ish. What a lovely piece of writing and pearls of wisdom.

Mental Models: The Best Way to Make Intelligent Decisions (~100 Models Explained) The smartest people in the world use mental models to make intelligent decisions, avoid stupidity, and increase productivity. Let's take a look at how ...

Thank you, you’ve reminded me of fs.blog/mental-models/ at a time when I’m looking for a couple of models to hold lightly.

Afternoon all :)

After 5 years in my role in Defra, I'm going to be leaving this June to take up a new role as Director General of Civil Service Reform and Efficiency in the @cabinetofficeuk.bsky.social

Only a couple of years ago did I find out that in the Civil Service you can bring someone in at risk I.e. before the security checks are complete.

Also always more than happy to help anyone in understanding internal coding in the Civil Service (well as far as I understand it at least).

Thinking way too much about this.

What size is the store? can I get a planet earth size piece to fall the Vogons, what if it came as a square shape would the Vogons still be fooled, and why am I talking to a dog.

I love your #TypoOfTheDay @markdalgarno.bsky.social and having just typed Ladership Brief I suddenly thought I should share.

Pondering about what my recipe for creativity is
1. Save energy for it
2. Look back at past projects
3. Let it happen any where
4. Be open
5. Be prepared

Yippee, feeling like I need this. More than happy to do 1 and attend many.

I wonder who doesn’t know they need it that needs to know, that someone who knows knows.

Sat down to write long-form but I don’t have the energy. Back to microblogging!

I’m going to be getting a new blank A6ish notebook. Any recommendations

Though my cup is now empty, and heading back to the shelf, my mind and soul are full. Thank you fellow #ukgc25 people.
