This is a top mini account of how managers would benefit from having an additional ethnographic lens to assess their own effectiveness.

Last week marked the conclusion of my ethnography training course for bank executives. In other words, turning bankers into “anthropology apprentices”. Did it work? Here is my take 1/n @FSCB @epicpeople_org

We are in a #ClimateEmergency. Extinguishing the light shining the emergency into the UK Jewish community's consciousness is self sabotage for the future of the community. Stop it. #savesadeh #sustainableukjudaism

Designing for a relationship, not a user ➡️ 'Informal and formal support are a key feature of human life, our services should be flexible enough to cope with a supporter-in-tow on the other end of a screen, phone or paper form.’

Fantastic piece by @SigalSamuel. This summarises well so many tensions in developing 'ethical AI'. News here also Congress plans to pass an Algorithmic accountability act in 2022 to legislate against bias. Read & share w/ your design team.

#pandemicflying experience. Liking this little personalised message with an extra mask and sanitizer. @AirCanada #ChrisWhitty could do the same for the UK? 🙂 #MaskUp

User researchers take note... Don't survey the screen before payment @TruRating. Poor timing, poor ux. The sales assistant was needing to run around rescue all the confused customers rushing for flights. #retailresearch @HeathrowAirport

Standing ovation at Wimbledon’s Centre Court for Dame Sarah Gilbert who designed the Oxford COVID vaccine.

Very moving.

I moved to Hackney this month! It's night and day different from Harrow (north-west London) in many ways. This @designcouncil blog outlines well how Hackney residents are making life adjustments to fight the climate emergency. Really impressed. 👏

BJSS has been my stable home base in the UK tech scene. The warm friendly Yorkshire welcome has been stellar. For my next gig I'm excited to be joining The Ministry of Justice as a user researcher. Starting in May! 2 of 2

Yesterday was my last day at @sparckhq & @BJSSLtd. I've loved the range of design strategy roles and user research gigs I've had. It's been a treat to develop the ethics and accessibility communities and to keep the human at the heart of tech development. 1 of 2.
