What a complete waste of time, effort and taxpayers’ money | Public Sector stuff

https://jacattell.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/what-a-complete-waste-of-time-effort-and-taxpayers-money

Things related to my work as a civil servant. What a complete waste of time, effort and taxpayers’ money. October 10, 2014. Warning: this is an unedited ramble on a career blip. So, its 10pm Friday night and its been quite a week. My other half is still at work and I’m at home drowning my sorrows. This week our property purchase fell through, our relationship suffered as a consequence and I’ve decided to quit my current role at the Government Digital Service. I told my then line manager I was happy to su...

https://therichardcopley.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/lets-replace-council-websites-with-local-gov-uk-a-gds-for-local-government

Richard Copley MSc, BSc, SMSITM (and CIO). Trapping these digital musings on 'paper' so that they can no longer clog up my head. It's a defrag basically. Let’s Replace Council Websites with Local.Gov.Uk – a GDS for Local Government. 140 characters is not a lot of space, but sometimes a tweet can contain a very big idea. In December 2013 Dominic Campbell ( @dominiccampbell. I reckon it would be possible to build a GDS platform for all. For the price of the new Birmingham Library website. This bit’s ...

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye | Public Sector stuff

https://jacattell.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/so-long-farewell-auf-wiedersehen-goodbye

Things related to my work as a civil servant. So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye. August 3, 2015. There’s a sad sort of clanging. From the clock in the hall. And the bells in the steeple, too. I’m one of the Government Digital Service (GDS) children. I look up to the calm, collected leader that is Mike Bracken. And today, Monday 3 August 2015, I’m sad to hear our leader is leaving. I type “our leader” even though I no longer directly work for GDS. Not many leaders would:. I flit, I float. On RT,...

The Church of #LocalGov change | Public Sector stuff

https://jacattell.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/the-church-of-localgov-change

Things related to my work as a civil servant. The Church of #LocalGov change. October 29, 2014. This is an unedited ramble with a side order of hero worship. So I’ve had a restless night. I woke from a dream where I escaped from an American religious cult. One of the 1st things that came to mind was, “that’s the public sector”. I see this dream as a reminder that I’m at a crossroads. I have an idea that’s currently. The number 1 local government makers ( @LGMakers. Rather than dreaming anymore, it feels ...
