What a gift this int’l #GovDesign community is! Talking to int’l colleagues who have done the work you’re just starting is the absolute best. You can learn from all of their findings, iterations and mistakes. Yesterday, we talked to a former 18F researcher, which probably saved us weeks of work.
#GovDesign
As a public servant, I write weekly notes to let people see what I do.
The Creative Bureaucracy Festival took place again.
I co-ran an adjacent international #govDesign workshop on ‘design for policy’ and accompanied the launch of the updated #ServiceStandard.

‘Protecting our practice’ was the title of the opening talk @karakane-kk.bsky.social and I gave at the Amsterdam User Needs First conference in April.
We discussed current events and what the #govDesign community can do not to let things get undone.
The recording is now available on YouTube:

Update to my little German #GovDesign job board: A working student role in brand design opened up at in-house consultancy PD. In the meantime, we closed our design role at @digitalservice.bund.de. A UX/UI design position at Dataport & a product design role at @sprind-en.bsky.social remain open
We are running an international #govDesign webinar with @jjstraetemans.bsky.social, @zuydweg.nl and their terrific #UserNeedsFirst community. We have 63 people from various time zones and parts of the world to hear design stories from Thailand 🇹🇭, Germany 🇩🇪, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
How do we build cross-organisational #accessibility awareness, capacity and capability?
Last week, as part of #GAAD, my @digitalservice.bund.de colleagues Christoph Schmidl and Marion Couesnon shared our approach in the international #GovDesign call #36.
Here is the recording of their input —

Wow! Just how good is the #CreativeBureaucracyFestival programme this year? 🤩 So much great international content again — creativebureaucracy.org/programme Hope to see you in Berlin in early June, #GovDesign folks and friends.
Once again surprised at how well #RSS just works, providing updates to sites thought long abandoned. 🙂
Today's surprise update, the first post to the #GovDesign blog since ~2023.

The organisation team, and everyone involved have done an awesome job in preparing our International Design in Government Helsinki Conference 2024 ❤️
The programme is of an immense richness: https://international.gov-design.com/helsinki2024/#programme
Tomorrow (Wednesday) we attendees can register for sessions, workshops ..
Where should I go, and share what I've learned afterwards with my local peers in Switzerland ?
In 2018, freshly started as a civil servant, I was lucky enough to meet many inspiring peers at the 1st International Design in Government gathering in 🇬🇧.
The exchange beyond 🇨🇭 has helped me immensely in the years that followed. Sometimes already a "cheer up" from a colleague on the other side of the Atlantic was enough.
This autumn, the community will meet in 🇫🇮 on the topic of ‚Systems change and futures‘.
Cheer up!, dear #govdesign friends 🔄 🌍, and see you soon.
