Delivering a seminar today @ServiceReform on complexity. One of my favourite subjects & the challenge is not to make it simple - impossible- but to fit what I know into 90 minutes & make it useful. Wish me luck!

Interesting to compare with what we produced nearly two years ago in the @servicereform learning community to build back better... (based on group inputs in a long group process but, I think, partly inspired by Simon's work)
What does #citizenship mean? Surely not being part of some phoney club. For @citizen_network it means working together with others to face our shared challenges. It is only by acting as citizens that we can solve the great crises of our times.

Want to have some headspace to think deeply in relation to this xitter.cf/sophiedennis/status/10…
"a lot of the apparent unfulfilled demand is actually rework and failure demand. When service and speed are good, the average demand doesn't increase significantly." says @sib313 < this is crucial. How much of the "pressure" is need not being met timely/appropriately in 1st place

Listening to #SolaceSummit21 Thinking about the doom-laden #scenarioplanning we did in the @servicereform learning community for the days after - and worried they might come true. bit.ly/3FHw5FU And still not convinced that community wealth-building isn't zero-sum.

33% of council chiefs say they don't have enough staff to run services properly. 89% are concerned about the pipeline for the most senior roles. "Put it all together and the sector is facing an extremely worrying workforce crisis," says @joanneroney #SolaceSummit21

Examples of how commissioning is being used by #localgov show how important it is to move away from a deficit focus to experimenting and learning how to influence complex systems, says Benjamin Taylor. bit.ly/3CCwQ1m @antlerboy @ServiceReform
