💡Our survey at #OpenDataCamp and #UKGovCamp revealed an interesting trend: the more confident someone is with data, the more likely they are to see spreadsheets as human-friendly tools—not just something for machines to process.

“Blame the spreadsheets” is a meme in data circles. So, at #OpenDataCamp and #UKGovCamp we ran a survey at our stand and asked:
💠How confident are you with data?
💠Are spreadsheets for humans… or machines?

On 17th January we went to #UKGovCamp 2026! It was one of those days that managed to be both energising and unsettling in equal measure. We've written up how our day went here: www.register-dynamics.co.uk/...
#GovernmentDigital #PublicSector #DigitalTransformation #DigitalSovereignty
It was great to be at #UKGovCamp in Birmingham last Saturday!
David Eaton and Alison Hook were in attendance, spending the day talking with customers, meeting new faces, sharing experiences, and learning from others across local and central government.
Wow, what a day at @ukgovcamp.com💛
First time there as Diamond Sponsors and we loved every minute. Thank you to everyone who made the day possible — organisers, volunteers, attendees! We couldn't have done any of it without you!

Might pitch a #ukgc26 session about the Service Standard and/or Service Manual. Any thoughts? www.gov.uk/service-manual
Also might keep my energy for other things and a more chilled day, but am having a think... Suggestions v welcome!

Finally got to write up my thoughts on UK GovCamp 2025, it was a bit of a different vibe for me this year:

An image of a post-it note which says ‘How to silence your inner critic enough to write publicly’
A few weeks ago I facilitated this session at #UKGovCamp. I've written a blog about it, to share tips on writing in the open. Thanks to all those who generously shared their experiences, and for encouraging me to get this published.
