The best reform rarely makes headlines. Post-2008 Francis Maude architected Civil Service Reform that saved £52bn and made the UK government a world leader in digital by default. Journalists weren't interested. The work got done anyway.

[Stephen Kelly @SKellyCEO]

Last week I enjoyed The Rest Is Money with the brilliant Steph McGovern & Robert Peston — a timely reminder of what real civil service reform looks like and how the important & critical Public Sector Reform is for Britain today. 🎙️

Immense Kane performance & true captain. Harry Kane also rescued the UK pub hospitality sector who so desperately needed a long England World Cup run to restore their businesses and pack out their pubs ⚽️ 🍻🙏

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

One man dragged England back from the brink. One man rescued Thomas Tuchel’s job. One man stopped England fans from going home, empty of heart and pocket. That man was Harry Kane. England are still in this World Cup because of one man. Astonishing footballer. #ENG

As England play DR Congo, we stand together behind the England team. Moments like this remind us of who we are and the country we want to be.

I find a real joy in watching fruit trees grow over the summer — though they always keep you guessing! Hardly any apples 🍏 this year, but the plums & damsons are absolutely heaving with fruit. Anyone else see a bumper plum harvest coming this year? 🍑 #nature #fruit #wildlife

CEOs should talk more about tradeoffs.

Every strategic decision involves tradeoffs. Good leadership means being honest about them, not pretending they do not exist.

What tradeoff is most important in your current strategy?

Extremists, algorithms & hostile states try to divide us, to turn us against each other. But we have don’t have to follow them. We can choose to talk to each other& focus on what we have in common

That’s what Jo would have done & it was a privilege to start this with @katieamess

[Stephen Kelly @SKellyCEO]

The market is there. The access is not.

Public sector and enterprise tech spend in the UK is significant. The question is not whether demand exists. The question is whether UK suppliers can access that demand consistently and predictably.

Remembering my Dad on his birth day of 1913. Life shaped by 2 World Wars. Gave 7 years to fight for the free world — and never spoke of it. He’d be horrified today with the wealth inequality & hostilities. His values: compassion, kindness, decency. We need them more than ever🕊️

#LondonTechWeek day 3 — good to hear data sovereignty on the agenda.

In regulated industries, where your data lives can decide whether you can operate at all.

Stay compliant without freezing your data: real-time, cross-region, no lock-in.
