A disgraceful, brutal summary/ portrayal of mental illness, share of spend, people’s needs, no mention of premature mortality , stigma, the harms of waiting lists. Cruel.

[Martin White @IntranetFocus]

An excellent reality check on how difficult it is to demonstrate investment in search technology is going to make for better customer satisfaction. Share with everybody in your company, whether you are a vendor, implementer or customer.

[Doug Turnbull @softwaredoug]

Search/RAG/AI founders+investors beware of the hidden danger of search solutions - success is extremely subjective and the work invisible

Be prepared to temper customer expectations very carefully and create an ongoing relationship

I had such a wonderful time working w/ @ChamiahDewey to design what we believe is the first-ever wheelchair-adapted lab coat! It’ll be used in the @ucl Innovation Lab & hopefully made open-source.

I’m really enjoying finding opportunities to adapt clothing outside my own closet!

[Martin White @IntranetFocus]

A very welcome opportunity to talk about the opportunities and challenges of search, and there are plenty of both

[Charlie Hull @FlaxSearch]

Lovely to catch up over lunch today with Martin White @IntranetFocus - always a pleasure!

If you read 60% of the books you own in the next month, on what topic would you mostly become an expert?

[Martin White @IntranetFocus]

I was wondering what story should be told in a single-storey cottage

[Marc D Anderson @sympmarc]

Definition of: 'bungalow' is: 'a one-story cottage'. -> After a long day working in the jungle, he bungled into the bungalow. https://t.co/P29C2VynQB

[Martin White @IntranetFocus]

The most challenging search in the enterprise is to find the senior manager has the corporate responsibility and budget for meeting employee requirements for search

[Charlie Hull @FlaxSearch]

If gun violence isn't a problem, why did this guy have to stand behind bullet proof glass that our school kids don't have access to?
