Ditto - I’ve also used the term ‘quick & dirty’ before, but not to be confused with ‘fast & shitty’, - an anti UCD heckle.(!) ‘Informal’ is also a useful qualifier (versus having to do more formal, screened participant recruitment)

This week we're wrapping up work on the GDS user-centred design communities team. Our team has come to an end after 3.5 truly amazing years. We've delivered so much and I feel really privileged to have worked with this team and community and delivered ALL that we did...#govdesign

I did the same this year - I didn’t expect to feel emotional about it, but it got me too. It was great working with you @ CapOne and best of luck for whatever is next!!

I’m going to give this a try as I’m regularly clueless as to what constitutes good parenting! Plus there’s something really interesting in playing-back survey data everyday to get ‘read’ on family wellbeing at this time.

Definitely a team effort and a testament to all the good stuff the GDS UCD community is doing!

Great debate happening live here; reviewing tech solutions that are enabling flexible workers... discussing that perhaps 'everyone' in their working life might require flexibility at some point.
