@RachelHabergham Remember eating one years and years ago and it tasting like bin water! May the dragon fruit you’ve brought be less disappointing 🙏

Inclusive football, so much more than playing football. We have been providing different fruits for the group to try. Top of their list has been Dragon Fruit and today we got some, be interesting to see how popular it is, many of the group have a restricted diet #football #fruit

@paulpod Many examples of things looking scary but being great long term. @CLLLLMORE mentioned drum machines. But plenty of examples of communities left behind or hurt when technology changes society

@paulpod We’ll be fine I’m very sure. But we both know there will be many people who lose out even if the long term trajectory is positive and doubly so for people who use services if those making the services don’t approach things right

Both love this and can see the coming Armageddon when tooling catches up and 1 BA replaces several teams worth of designers 🙂

@paulpod At my more pessimistic I know that organisations and departments are always looking at ways at culling roles and won’t care at the harm or understanding the negative impact it has. A private company goes bust. Something like the DWP?

@paulpod Yeah but think of all the extra value companies could provide to their shareholders! At my most urm optimistic, that’s the point. It doesn’t matter because actually people who can diagnose problems and the right approach will be more important

Trying to write something else I ended up making a note about assumptions and hypotheses. Published the note: grillopress.github.io/2024/03/12/mov…

@hubbs How’s nhs stuff? I’m alright thanks. 🤩 and glad it’s chiming. Can feel like talking in the wind sometimes

@AndrewDuck_ Hey! Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your blog on respecting & evolving from stakeholder solutions. Have been sharing it around in and outside NHS. Hope all's well!

@kubabartwicki Have we ever been in the same room? Are we the same person? Who am I?

Spookily similar to @AndrewDuck_’s recent post grillopress.github.io/2024/01/24/it-…

Published a quick, moderately spicy ramble about why I think ‘solutionising’ gets an unnecessarily bad rep 🌶️ kubabartwicki.com/posts/in-defen…

@WalterStephanie Glad you liked the post 🙌

@writes_eve Tim Gallwey said performance = ( potential - interference ). The key to performance is to increase potential or reduce interference grillopress.github.io/2019/04/06/min…

Aim to limit interference. Let ideas flow. Stop getting in their way. Don’t let your preconceived ideas hold you back.

@Rchards As in… although you need to treat them and have an owner for all data products you create not always feasible to just own 1 or it might just be that a data manager/engineer etc owns it And in some environments it sounds expensive like you gotta hire a million people

@Rchards Fair. I personally like data product (thing) because that ownership combined with some rich methods etc of product management make it an easier concept to explain. An issue is … as with anything it can negatively come with the opinion that owning a data product is a whole job

Todays debate: Data owner vs data controller vs data steward What are the merits and trade offs for each in labelling the ‘person who decides about a dataset’ role in an organisation? Is there a better term?

@adamsilverhq Hopefully a thing live in the next couple of weeks. If not maybe never cause I hate it or something haha

@AndrewDuck_ Ah nice one dude, hit me up if you need anything. When do we get to see your product?
