Work for a city hall team that's fun and thoughtful enough to build a thing like this! ❤️ you Boston

If you know of organizations in need of support right now — eg develop messaging to reach those who need services or use technology platforms to clarify or share information — let us know.

We're fired up and ready to volunteer the skills we have to lend a hand.

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

Exciting news! Thrilled you're taking this on @kristallakis 🎉

[Krista Canellakis @kristallakis]

That makes two of us who are overjoyed! 🥳 Delighted to join @USDResponse to see how we might serve the shared needs of digital teams in governments across the U.S.

Congrats! This was the best news to wake up to! Thrilled to see you lead a DS team in SF.

Very cool (and consequential!) job alert

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

This is so true 😩

Have you seen examples of tone/writing guides that actually get referenced by those you want to use them the most? Maybe a different format altogether?

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

I'm going to be spending the spring in Munich this year ���. Any recommendations — things to do/see? people to meet up with? epic playgrounds to check out?

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

The talent in Boston's city hall right now is really something. @MayorWu has assembled a TEAM. Thrilled to see what this team does (and continues to do!)

A painfully accurate description of how it feels to navigate gov services.

It's hard to imagine the frictions and confidence required to complete a form, application, etc — when each step feels like you're doing something wrong — *doesn't* result in rationing.

[Dave Guarino @allafarce]

"I just really want this to work out I keep feeling like an idiot trying to do this application process.

I'm a really prepared person and I usually feel comfortable around a computer.

I just feel like I'm missing something in this process."

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

@nsylianteng This is so good. Maybe @sarahkliff knows of groups doing this?

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

@thesarahall A great day for Philly. Congratulations!

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

@cydharrell @taylcampbell Love this. Downloading now!

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

We're hiring! Looking for a PM who loves bringing people together and delivering work that's focused on *showing* rather than telling.

Experience with discovery sprints and working with clients a bonus. Please share!

One day I want to put together a course on dark arts in Civic Tech. It’ll cover all the reductive norms in government/public interest positions that you can use to prevent disasters or push your ideas forward.

[Lauren Lockwood @lflockwood]

Looking for inspiration...what KPIs have you seen work well for people leading teams?
