New blog post (posted here ironically!) 🐘 “Twitter is dead. Let’s start live-tweeting conferences on Mastodon instead.”

If you’re at @fwd50conf this year either in person or virtually, I’d love to see you on Mastodon! https://t.co/N937BToJbG #fwd50 #GCdigital

@thommeread Thanks Tom! 🙌

[Tom Read @thommeread]

A typically fascinating blogpost by @sboots on why change is so difficult in federal governments, even with the right leadership in place

[Sean Boots @sboots]

@fvelasco007 Thanks so much, Fernando!

[Fernando Velasco @fvelasco007]

Great insight and thought provoking as always @sboots latest blog reflects much of today's reality within our organization though I'm hopeful change is possible #GCDigital https://t.co/0o7yHooOx0

@don_nordlundo Don this is so great! Thanks for sharing! 🙌

[FWD50 @fwd50conf]

Is it time for a revolution in federal public service delivery? Have incremental approaches failed? @sboots turns a critical eye to the realities of digital government this fall. https://t.co/qZ9kNpIo8z

@pahlkadot This makes my day! 😄💖 Can't wait!!

[Jennifer Pahlka @pahlkadot]

How delighted am I that my first time speaking at #FWD50 in November, the speaker right before me is @sboots -- and he mentions "state capacity" in his talk description. And in Canada, this can't mean the capacity of the states because they have provinces! https://t.co/zrJVu4DGhA

@UNDPDigital @UNDP Great to see this, and @sboots excellent '“Fake COTS” and the one-day rule' blog post featured under the '4. (Perhaps) Don’t build it' section 👏

[UNDP Digital, AI and Innovation Hub @UNDPDigital]

Digital is a way of working that has the potential to change the world for better when used responsibly.

@UNDP created a set of practical #DigitalStandards for anyone seeking best practices on how to plan and implement effective digital initiatives ➡️ https://t.co/ToEMhZ8j6T

[Sean Boots @sboots]

@wdangersmith @UNDPDigital @UNDP Ah wow, that's wonderful! Thanks for sharing! (And the Digital Standards look great!) 🎉

[Sean Boots @sboots]

I’ll always be grateful for Nick’s thoughtful and humble leadership, for bringing me into the federal public service, and for starting the journey that became CDS. All the best from here! 🙌
