Nice simple video from Twitter.
Thanks for all the interest shown in the 10 Think Digital principles so far. I’m working on building on them to make them even more useful. Part of this is to run a webinar explaining them in more detail, and…

Pretty damning stuff from Cllr Roger Gambba-Jones: If somebody was to ask me about becoming a councillor nowadays, I’m not sure what I would tell them were the benefits of doing so and I don’t mean to the councillor. Government…
Here’s my fifth podcast. This is becoming a thing! I’m joined in this episode by Anne McCrossan, who runs Visceral Business. Anne’s thing is getting organisations perform as genuinely social businesses. Here’s a link to download the original mp3…
I found LocalGovCamp a really refreshing and cheering event this year. I’m going to spend a few quick posts writing up my thoughts. There’s a kitbag of tools and approaches that can be used to tackle the problems facing us.…
I found LocalGovCamp a really refreshing and cheering event this year. I’m going to spend a few quick posts writing up my thoughts. Communities always come up a lot, in terms of engagement and also new methods of service delivery.…
