@sojtucker Hahaha 😂 just so you don't forget what were your most bought items during the pandemic years!

This rings true so much, being able to discover and test ideas; fail and try again is fundamental to innovation and what is digital transformation without an innovative mindset?

Originally, digital transformation was about creating digital/tech solutions. Increasingly, it's come to mean working in more agile/aligned ways. How digital transformation, organisational dysfunctions & psychological safety are connected: https://t.co/wGUA6jwxuu By @tom_geraghty

If you’re reading about Afghanistan and feeling sick and helpless about the unimaginable situation people there are facing, now would be a good moment to donate to a refugee-supporting charity. I’m putting together some links. Take your pick. Give what your can.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today is #TransgenderDayOfVisibility which celebrates the positive impact transgender and gender non-conforming people have on our society.

It is also a chance for everyone to reflect and learn more about how to become a better ally to the community. [1/4]

I get annoyed when people say we should ‘look to the private sector’ for inspiration. It perpetuates this neoliberal myth that public sector products and services can never be as good.

F*** that. Be bold. Write a new story.

In Finnish we don’t have gendered pronouns.

These translations from our gender-neutral language into English reveal a lot of bias in the world and in tech RT @annabrchisky: Maailma ei ole vielä valmis. Eikä ole teknologiakaan.

Kicked off #ServicesWeek with BBC's session on embedding accessibility into their culture - lots of food for thought as we embark on the journey of building accessibility champions network in our teams! #a11y

As an #NHSComms person, I talk about accessibility a lot. The most common mistakes that I come across that are easy to fix? Here's a list 👇🏻

I wrote a little thing about a big piece of work I've been lucky enough to be involved in; working with a great team on an interesting topic 😊 #UserResearch https://t.co/w93SsM61f5

[Isa Kolehmainen @ISAKOnet]

@IamKathrynGrace Books that I've found useful are Design of Everyday Things, Observing the user experience, Mental models by Indi Young and second Steph Marsh's User Research practical guide, to name a few 👍

Calling all USER RESEARCH buddies.
Where do you start out as a user researcher?
Who is employing people at the beginning/early in their careers?
Who is coaching/mentoring people at this stage of their careers?
What's the best book to read?
Where do they start?

Glad I tuned into the #HMLRXGovUR talk 'Ethical considerations during COVID-19' - super insightful and important topic for us researchers to think about now but also going forward in the post-pandemic world which definitely needs to be more caring, flexible and accessible! @HMLR

[Isa Kolehmainen @ISAKOnet]

@clementcreate I'm at Southampton Way in Camberwell - I know right?! Burgess park has been my daily destination 😅

[Isa Kolehmainen @ISAKOnet]

@clementcreate Didn't realise you live next door! If we weren't looking to move at the moment as well flat swap would be easy 😉
