C'mon, Steve! Chairs aren't for sitting. They're for endlessly pontificating about the ubiquity and profundity of design.

How dare you spoil it with talk of idle bums.

An in inspired intervention. Bravo 👏🏽

You appear very poised to gesticulate, if that compensates.

"What a time to be alive, eh?"

In which I muse on 'recent events' and discuss the biggest challenges I see in what comes next in our world.

What I see:
On the complex socio-technical and economic Qs surrounding AI, a deeply conventional 'sensiblism' that doesn't really start or go anywhere new + an unconvincing public performance of 'radicalism' that tries to dresses that conventionality in omnipresent AI hype for cheap political cred.

Mind expanding analysis at an especially vital juncture. Thank you. We are incredibly lucky to have you 🙏🏻

Against entropy — Why product managers really manage conversations As Practice Lead for Product at NHS Digital, I often have discussions with colleagues about what product management is and what it does…

Agreed. I tried to get to the bottom of exactly *why* this is in this post from a few years back. I go back to it a lot. I think it holds up.

Just not a professional laptop carrier. We've all been there.

Thanks for this Imran. I managed to catch Vicky briefly at a work event last month and was (of course) delighted to see her in our space. Still not quite processing the news.

Whew. Finally something that is not a total bummer!

Definitions, digital, and distance: on AI and policymaking Human decisions will drive the deployment of technology in policymaking, for good and ill. Better policymaking should make lives better for humans, which is why we should listen to them.

As govt doubles down on turbocharging w/ AI narrative, it feels relevant to reshare some work I commissioned at @jrf-uk.bsky.social asking experts 'To what extent can AI improve public policymaking?'

This response from @gavinfreeguard.bsky.social is a personal fave!

The gap between soaring rhetoric and mundane reality is where grand ambitions go to die.

The higher your rhetoric soars, the greater the need for a meaningful analysis of reality to anchor aspiration in the substance of human lives.

Without that substance, there are only distractions and hot air.

Can AI save the NHS? It's going to be a lot harder than our politicians seems to realise

Seems like a good time to repost the piece @jessrmorley.bsky.social wrote for us on the challenges/risks of using AI to improve the NHS.
