There’s a saying in the outdoor community about dealing with extreme weather - that the mountains will always be there another day. I also like that mantra for working on any type of change, or organisational challenges ❄️

“Be slow. Let this distract you. Let it change how you think and how you see the world. Because the world is our work. And so, may this tragedy tear down all our faulty assumptions and give us the courage of bold new ideas.”

So impressed & proud to be part of the @DfEDigital team today. Working on part of the departments Covid-19 response and the team have done 46 user interviews in 4 days from a standing start. Making sure that users are at the heart of what we do, even in a crisis #UCD 👏👏👏
Designing good services that work for everyone is more important now than ever. Anyone up for having a conversation about how we design services to better deal with crisis?
