What a good read, to say I’m looking forward to reading the next installment already would be to gloss over all the wisdom contained within this one but to boil it down just to my take would be too reductionist.

Almost 15 years ago I invested a small amount in a somewhat fanciful project to create a train service run by a co-operative. All these years later the ORR has finally given Go-Op permission to run an actual service. They just need to raise the capital to make it happen. go-op.coop

We're launching the first ever co-operative train operating company with a route in the SW developed by and for passengers.

Ceak and tea with @noursidawi.bsky.social and @pubstr.at was so nourishing, uplifting and energising. Looking forward even more to my 1st @ukgovcamp.bsky.social as an attendee.

Mug with a wooden lid, to keep the tea warm while it brewed and we nattered, not seen each other in a while lots to natter about. And a slice of cheese cake in its plastic wrap on a pice of paper. It’s a black sesame base which provided a lovely crunch to a very soft top. There a dob of cream on the top holding up two white chocolate flakes, one has delicate flowers printed on it in red.

Why do so many strategic initiatives fail? Too often, organisations focus entirely on the target customer experience, without thinking about how they’ll make it real. They want to create a new experience, but their operating model holds them back.

The sketch shows a horizontal arrow with the words ‘E2E experience’. Underneath is a vertical arrow with the words ‘E2E org design + op model’.

The sketch shows 4 overlapping circles of different sizes. Inside the circles it says ‘Create an account’, ‘Order a card’, ‘Manage your finances’ and ‘Get financial advice’.

If you could ask anyone in your team a question, what would you ask? Maybe it’s something you find yourself holding back from asking, maybe you ask it repeatedly or maybe someone has asked you and it’s sitting with you waiting to ask someone.

I believe that change happens all the time and is driven by conversations, the words we use in them, the way we listen and what we choose. We can reinforce things, let them go, or start creating something else.
