@alex_stanhope Another aspect of cloud-based resource planning that I hadn't thought of.
An idea that feels so obvious I wonder if it already exists. When selecting virtual servers to use for a project as well as selecting processors, memory, etc also an option for "carbon footprint".
Similarly cloud hosting providers adding "carbon emissions" to user dashboards.

Tomorrow I’ll attend the @InsideGovt AI conference to host a keynote on technological innovation across central and local government. I’ll discuss GDS's role in public sector innovation as well as the #GovTechCatalyst programme. For more info: insidegovernment.co.uk/publi… @GDSTeam
The good news is that making governments faster and smarter is largely a question of changing culture (not law or structure). The bad news is that making governments faster and smarter is largely a question of changing culture.
"If you want to change governments, you have to start by changing mentalities" - A nice snappy summary of the #GovTech panel at @ImpactCEE 2019 in Krakow, featuring our own @ktmcnl with @GovTechPL @GDSTeam @JustOrlowska @bfk @RobynScott @OttVelsberg

Hearing a lot at #impact19 today about encouraging risk-taking - today @JustOrlowska, @ktmcnl, @RobynScott and I will talk about how #GovTech is approaching risk in innovative public services.
Looking forward to speaking at @ImpactCEE later this week. I'll be joining an impressive panel to discuss the current state of #GovTech in Europe and beyond as well as looking to what comes next. #Impact19

@mbsangster Enjoyed your talk at #cyberuk19 - you mentioned something coming up in the War Rooms?

Today I’ll be at the #TICTeC conference sharing learnings from the #GovTechCatalyst on a panel focusing on “Funding, scaling and sustainable growth” with @comluac and @helen_turek tictec.mysociety.org/2019/pr…
At #TICTeC next week I'm looking forward to hearing from some civic activists about how they measure success - perhaps some #OutcomeMapping fans out there?
Breandán Knowlton (@bfk) of @GDSTeam will examine how we can support #CivicTech and gov initiatives when they move from pilot to full scale deployment, at #TICTeC: tictec.mysociety.org/2019/pr… See the full TICTeC schedule at tictec.mysociety.org/2019/sc…. #govtech

"When you abstract away the differentiating features to avoid lock-in, you also abstract away the value." - from @tyler_treat : bravenewgeek.com/multi-cloud… . Sometimes it's better to stay simple but portable, but this should be a choice.
@zeldman Really enjoyed hearing you on @veen ‘s @presentablefm podcast. Takes me back to the early days of fighting for an open, standards-based web ... and a reminder that the struggle continues.

“System innovation needs behaviour change.” A good reason to read behaviour change theorists, like @sawendel or @IDRC_CRDI . (And you should read this @nesta_uk paper too!)
