While writing, I am on my way from Edinburgh to London \u2013 sitting on a train rushing along the Northern English east coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the late morning, Kara and I delivered our \u2018long slog of public service design\u2019 talk<\/a> at the \u2018Service Design in Government\u2019 conference<\/a>. We worked on it intensively the days before and still tweaked some slides in the morning. As it was all new, untested content, we were a bit nervous about how the talk would be received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As our talk was on day 3 of the conference, we were able to witness how the themes from our talk emerged in other presentations early on. That allowed us to link our narrative to those of the colleagues who came before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The feedback we received on LinkedIn and Twitter was overwhelmingly positive. The topics we examined resonated with people, which was less surprising given the feedback we had received on the survey some weeks ago. It was then good to have follow-up conversations and hear from people what resonated the most with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
