Just tried to pick up this Lime bike near the office but it doesn’t seem to be working - any ideas?

I’ve become fascinated with the Newcastle Metro. Probably partially derives from @benterrett.bsky.social’s Margaret Calvert obsession.

I imagine you all reached saturation point on frost pics some time ago but enjoyed the cartoonish trim on this holly.

NHS App back in the news and I'm not one to miss an opportunity to reheat my favourite graphic. (Other icebergs are available) What's fascinating in the app's case is that it probably needed a simple 'solution-first' strategy to provide the political drive to do the alignment in the background.

The image is a visual metaphor using an iceberg to illustrate a point about software development.

The Iceberg:

Above the Water: We see a sleek yacht, representing a simple, user-friendly feature in the NHS App. This is what's immediately visible and accessible to the public.

Below the Water: The vast majority of the iceberg lies hidden beneath the surface. This represents the complex infrastructure, systems, and processes that are required to make that seemingly simple feature a reality. It includes things like:
Re-wiring the NHS's infrastructure
Adapting the operating model
Prioritisation decisions

The image conveys the idea that while a software feature might appear simple on the surface, a significant amount of work and complexity is hidden behind the scenes. It emphasises the importance of prioritising and managing these underlying factors to ensure the successful delivery of the feature.

Additional Details:

The text "Prioritisation matters" highlights the critical role of decision-making in determining which features to build and how to allocate resources effectively.
The image also has "public.digital" branding.

I guess this. Not exactly viral (but viral enough for me 😆)

A tweet by Chris Fleming (my account) from June 2022 reading “Strategy is: making hard choices, explaining trade-offs, delivering on priorities. Strategy is not: looking at all the random shit you are doing and identifying some themes that vaguely stitch them together.”

Saw this coffee brand in the states once, so bought my mam these for her birthday as a novelty gift. Really can’t tell if it’s parody or not. Particularly the last paragraph in the description.

Photo of a packet of coffee called Catholic Coffee St Joan of Arc French Blend

Text on the side of the coffee packet “St. Joan of Arc (1412-1431) was still in her teens when she received a series of visions by which Goa called her to defend France against England in the
100 Years War. Under her lead, crucial battles were won, and France regained her freedom-though Joan herself was betrayed, captured, and burned at the stake. This brave and holy martyr became a French hero and an inspiration to the entire world.
Our dark, smoky French blend honors the boldness of St. Joan of Arc, patron saint of France.”

Ipswich Sunderland yesterday. I love away matches specifically for the dissonance of hearing loads of mackem accents somewhere really incongruous. In this case deepest Suffolk.

In the coming election year I think we'll hear lots of views on where the future of the NHS App lies. If there was one piece of advice I'd have it's "choose wisely". A seemingly simple could well require fundamental changes to infra, service design, and op models across thousands of orgs...

Gr8 rebrand lads
