Research from Harvard Business School. In a digital era, the key skills leaders need are nothing to do with digital literacy. So called "soft skills" are much more important, eg adaptability, creativity, being a change catalyst, building trust: https://t.co/rKyp7vboPL Via @HBSWK

When you're facilitating a meeting/workshop, you can feel pressure to make sure you know the answers & to stick to the plan (a performance mindset). But to activate the team & get great outcomes, a facilitator needs a curiosity mindset: https://t.co/IewdZVjcXb By jackie_colburn

@davebriggs Makes me sad every time I read something like this "Departments have failed to understand the difference between improving what currently exists and real digital transformation, meaning that they have missed opportunities to move to modern, efficient ways of working"

@Annie3H I have the current iPhone SE but I've no idea what product family that is. And I've no plans to upgrade when the contract is up next year,

Fantastic graphics & wisdom on making change happen: Spend less time discussing your goals &/or the great things after the change happens & much more time thinking, talking & listening about the practicalities of making the change: https://t.co/xUvWvbRND5 TY @nikhyl @rebelsatwork

Following the exciting announcement of the #localdigital fund round 5, I'm herding various councils interested in some collaborative bidding around #lowcode - if you want in, just yell.

Some great advice here for setting up projects and delivery teams for success

[dxw @dxw]

Delivery Lead @Kath_Cooper_ talks about how to set projects up for success. She shares some of the activities we run during an inception to make sure there's clarity and build an open positive team environment https://t.co/FZNx0nc3DI

We have a service designer in our team that would like to improve their sketching skills to help them produce better storyboards. Does anyone know of any good (and free) online resources that might help please?

This is the best summary of local government funding I've read in my 30+ years of working for councils

[@jesstud.bsky.social @jesstud]

I’ve always been more of a narrative than a numbers person, and that’s how I try to make sense of #localgov finance. So, let me tell you a story about how councils are funded… https://t.co/VObzD1J6Uz

The https://t.co/pmjggfEySo Design System is turning 3 years old! Here’s a thread about how it has helped services across government and beyond in the last 12 months ⬇️ [1/4]

@Leanandagile I had similar symptoms for a couple of days afterwards Andy. Hope you're soon feeling better.
