Yes of course the civil service can and should be more effective.
But thinking that that can happen while everything else stays the same is delusional.
As we go round this loop yet again, it is true as ever that if you want to change the system, you have to change the system.
"Suddenly, the most important question isn't, 'How do we get this right the first time?'. It's 'How do we make this better by next Friday?'"

Now this bit, I like a lot. Test and learn, innit.
Yes, I think this was my favourite moment!

#excited :-)
A picture of a wall and some flowers in front of it. In the middle of the picture there are three snails close together and travelling in the same direction, like they could be in a military arrow formation.
Spotted what I can only describe as this squadron of snails yesterday in the rain 🤷♂️
Also I would highlight that the ordering of contributors is by surname order… 😅
Excited to finally share the news that last year I had the unexpected opportunity to co-author a book chapter on culture and leadership with my boss - and its now going to be in a real life printed book! aqrinternational.co.uk/product/who-...
I nearly got rid of X but govcamp reeled me back in a bit… (doomscrolling rather than actually tweeting!)
Didn’t get to speak with you but did spot the jumper… seriously impressive stuff! 🤩
Haha yes it was excellent. I wouldn’t say planned as such, but I think it was a realisation on the day there there all sorts of lighting options so what could be better than ❤️💙 … @davidbuckster.bsky.social seemed to be responsible for such things!

What a day! @ukgovcamp.bsky.social was a blast! 💥 Had a lot of fun meeting govcampers old and new. Thanks for great conversations and lovely spaces for connecting. Exciting to see the govcamp tribe grow with #ukgcXL living up to its name with so many people there.
…and now time for 😴😴😴
That #UKGCXL was mega!
Lovely to experience it as a camper/attendee for the first time in 7 years. Beyond dreamy to catch up with everyone - even though I missed a bunch of folks in the crowds.
Big sparkly congratulations and thank you to the @ukgovcamp.bsky.social Organisers & Campmakers. 👏🏻✨💗

Ten years on, pretty much everything about Govcamp has changed. And pretty much everything about it has stayed the same. The reasons for liking it then are still good reasons now.

Resilience is a function of a system, not the individuals therein.
It’s going to be great! Fresh out of a planning meeting for @ukgovcamp.bsky.social and feeling very excited for gathering together with a bunch of lovely people in January and see what new things await🤩🌈🥳

How have people been tricked into believing that, because the carriage of the message door to door has been sped up by a day, they should speed up the mentally intensive work of reading and replying by a week or so?
