I'm thrilled to have published a book with my good friends, @MaynoothUni colleagues and sparing partners @frankdevitt & Martin Ryan. The ARRIVE framework is based on our years of teaching, researching, practicing and reflecting on the area of design Innovation & strategy. #gulp
I love this meme because it actually holds the truth. Being useful, making things, engaging your talents, is for most men far more powerful than sitting down to talk about your feelings with a therapist. Avoiding therapy through meaningful, competent engagement is ace 👌
🎉 Just attended "Technology is the Answer, But What’s the Question?" with @trevorvaugh
His insights on design as a social technology were eye-opening.
It's clear that merging empathy & innovation is key to creating meaningful solutions that improve lives.
Ireland's Taoiseach @SimonHarrisTD is the same age as the average Irish person: 37 years. He is the only national leader to be representative of his country in age in this list of advanced economies. Irish parliamentarians are also typically younger than most other countries 🇮🇪
In @Telegraph on my influence @Keir_Starmer missions. As we argue in @IIPP_UCL missions can’t be buzzword (old wine in new bottles). Must change how we “do” government (from procurement to finance) & fair contracts. Our global report coming out this Thurs!
I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.
Join me in advancing user-centred design in Ireland's Public Service! We're hiring a talented and passionate design leader. Exciting times with a strong design commitment, a dedicated team, and ambitious projects underway.
RIP #Danielkahneman, his academic work was so important, ‘Thinking fast & slow’ made it so accessible, but ‘The Undoing Project’ by Michael Lewis about Daniel’s & Amos Tverskys relationship is where you will see brilliance, humor & humility https://t.co/1XWPGgwN43
"You made me feel so seen and so heard and so safe" 🥹
