The day before, I missed an all-org offsite that I had only heard good things about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The late, un-recorded highlight of the day was a virtual shout-out from President Biden\u2019s digital team, encouraging us to keep up the excellent work. With some apparent cherry blossom references, I found plenty of emojis all over Slack in the morning after while unpacking their meaning and retracing the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found various posters of our Diversity Equity Inclusion (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diversity,_equity,_and_inclusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DEI<\/a>) working group in the office. They had been going back and forth on the content and design in the past weeks, so it was good to see those up. The working group includes people from all parts of the organisation and all disciplines, including communications, people, and delivery. While I don\u2019t have the time to get involved much, I support their efforts and keep nudging them to collect data and track key indicators. I\u2019m happy to share my former colleagues\u2019 \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harryvos.com\/posts\/run-employee-demographics-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to run an employee demographics survey<\/a>\u2018 post broadly and frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Picking things up where I haven\u2019t left them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my absence, my colleagues pushed a few things ahead. I very much enjoy and appreciate not being seen as a bottleneck or irreplaceable manager on all kinds of tasks and decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlotte and Sonja continued working on all-new level descriptions for designers and user researchers in my absence. Their iterations and progressions are sounds, and we should have the level descriptions finalised shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, the interview process for our first-ever senior content designer position reached its final stage. So, I heard everyone\u2019s feedback and made a hiring decision based on that. If things go well in the offering process, the successful candidate could start in a few weeks, and we will be able to build out our user-centred design discipline for further specialist skills and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kannika and I caught up on all things Federal government digital strategy. She and others led interviews with lighthouse projects, and I got to hear their findings. In the coming weeks, I will advise on and participate in new learning cluster meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing for a little in-house video production, Stephanie and I discussed and sketched possible narratives for a short film on our ways of working. Talking about user-centred, iterative, evidence-based approaches can quickly turn theoretical, dogmatic and abstract. We picked examples that make those adjectives tangible, relatable and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">What\u2019s next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, we will have our second \u2018design system for Germany\u2019s working sessions. Colleagues from other digital public sector units will travel from Hamburg and Munich to join us for a deep-diving workshop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin returned to the office after his long 3-week break and jumped right back into various things in his week 96 at Digital Service.
