On a hot 31-degree day, we recorded short Service Standard statements for social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the recording, ministerial project partner Ralf and I introduce the standard to an uninitiated audience and provide some tips on how to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The video was supposed to be recorded at Digital Service, but then we moved to the ministry and filmed it in the newly erected and logo-walled atrium. My comms colleagues Chiara, Robin, and Steffi did a terrific job capturing it, and I saw the first bits of the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a teleprompter for videos works well for me. Others tell me I can deliver sentences well without making them sound unnatural or read out. When there is little time to learn lines, my brain has one thing less to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, we have another podcast coming up for late August. Ralf and I will do it remotely with the host, who will be in a third location. It\u2019s scheduled, and notes are drafted. The podcast series has a broader audience for German government digitalisation than the Why Service Design podcast I recently did<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other recorded content in review is a German Sign Language version of the Service Standard\u2019s 13 criteria and a navigational overview of the website. Tobias of CityLAB Berlin agreed to review them. He is the closest person I know who speaks German Sign Language and knows the Service Standard. So, I was grateful when he gave his thumbs up, even though he caviatted that he is a CODA, a \u201cchild of deaf adults.\u201d He suggested we ask deaf people to review the video, too, as long as the providing agency allows changes to the produced material free of charge. That is what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
