Huge and sad news about @ideo ‘s drop in revenue and layoffs. But exciting to see the difference they have made in deisgn thinking becoming an integral part of business. What’s next I wonder? Is product thinking where the value is today?

That’s a wrap. Five years as a trustee of @scouts has just flown by. I’ve had the privilege of working with some fantastic and inspiring people. I’ve learnt so much over my time on the Board and would recommend the experience to anyone! Just can’t believe I took so few photos…

@DrBenLovell If this is still available, I’d love to come and collect it. I’ve recently moved to London (Kennington) and have sadly had to leave my beloved Duck Son & Pinker piano at my parents. Would love to keep playing here, my sister (also a doctor) forwarded your tweet. Thanks.
