Our next Design Challenge is live!

We’re exploring how AI could transform the assessment-call experience ... a process often marked by long waits, repeated questioning, inaccessible formats and huge pressure on both claimants and assessors.

What if we could use AI to create assessment calls that are clearer, fairer, easier to navigate and far less stressful ... for everyone involved?

It’s a chance to rethink a system under serious strain and rebuild it around empathy, accuracy and speed.

My first piece of writing for a while. I thought I'd join the AI conversation with a social practice perspective on how Voice AI, in this example, might subtly affect the workplace.

Our first Design Challenge is live!

We’re looking at how AI could transform the handwritten PIP form process … a system slowed by huge backlogs, long waits and the challenge of interpreting thousands of handwritten submissions.

AI can help bring speed, clarity and fairness to a process under real strain.

@joe_jag Yes, but most/all of my work is with business operations teams not dev/product and these teams don't do continuous improvement/retros

E.g. where help used to get help from turning to a colleague, or walking over to a desk, or suppliers who used to pop into customers offices etc

[Chris McDermott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @chrisvmcd]

I'm finding more and more that my work with organisations and teams involves undoing/reconfiguring the practices adopted to cope with the pandemic.

[Lean Agile Scotland @LeanAgileScot]

I was asked to contribute to a discussion on Agile meet ups/conferences in Scotland and to tell the story about their history. I drew this timeline... what am I missing? @AgileScotland @LeanAgileGLA @LeanAgileScot @LeanAgileEdi @TheFOWScotland
