I’ve been watching…
- “The most important inventions come from lots of failure.”

I’ve been working on…
- On Tuesday I attended Good Practice WAO’s event on Improving digital leadership and ownership. I sat in on some really thoughtful and practical sessions (see tweets below) and it’s always brilliant to actually meet up with people whom you’ve been following/stalking on Twitter for ages.
- I’ve set a date for the lunchtime learning/lightening talk experiment. 3 speakers, 20 minutes each. Good range of topics too! I’ll report back how this goes in about two weeks.
- Had a department come in to look at the kanban board. Looking back at the original blog post, I’ve been running the board for 3 months now. Interestingly, seems to attract attention in waves. This week I’ve been reminded of adoption curves — could be somewhat related (early adopters, early majority etc). Also, I REALLY need to write up some reflections on its use before the finer points evacuate my brain.
