Honestly, this Test & Learn event is joyful. There are so many examples of the real-life transformation of public institutions - quicker, more responsive, more human, more purpose-driven and fun to work in. e.g. these slides are from a brilliant example from Nottingham 1/n
A slide from a presentation - ‘Where we started’ and ‘Where we are now’A slide from a presentation about test and learn work in NottinghamA slide from a presentation: “Spoiler alert: We’re still doing it and it’s making things better for children”A slide: “Conditions we need leaders to create now, to enable Test Learn and Grow
	1.	Build governance that enables test and learn
	2.	Make space for people to lead the work whatever their level
	3.	Be visible in spaces where new ways of working are being tried
	4.	Invest in user research expertise
	5.	Encourage people who instinctively value this way of working to find each other”

With thanks to @da.vebrig.gs for sharing this new post… ✨ I spend lots of time talking about making things more 'service-oriented' … this post updates some of that thinking. incl. what I wrote in Multiplied, based on work, opportunities and ideas I'm seeing in places like Health/NHS #servicedesign

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
