Hi pals. Have you practiced domain-driven design (DDD) in government or the public sector – either in the UK or overseas? Or have you dabbled in it, or are you even just interested in it? Please get in touch, if so. I’d love to talk to you 🙏

Human experience mediated through information structures: that's the object of design after software ate the world. That's why information architecture matters.

"Generative AI will only be as good as what it works from. This needs investment in content design, and organisations need better content strategy and governance to support how they deploy LLMs." I'd love your thoughts and feedback on this post #contentdesign #GenAI #LLMs

Not true. @stokel published his first story aged 8 weeks. It was an investigative piece on the use of microcomputers in childbirth
Twelve years ago today I turned up to a volunteer journalism project thinking it'd be a fun thing to do. Everything that has come since is all @Wylienet (and @danhowarth's) fault

Yesterday we got #WCAG 2.2 and 9 new criteria. Under the Public Sector Bodies #Accessibility Regulations, you need to work to the latest version to be compliant, so I've written a blog post on what #WCAG22 might mean for you! #a11y

German gov is cutting its digital spend by 99%. Martin says, "Quality and effective success metrics weren’t in focus for many projects." Seems like clear evidence that if you do not measure it, you cannot value it. We need to make measurement a fundamental part of our work.
