In my time in @iLab_NI I’ve tried to advocate for Design across @HeadNICS . This article by Prof. @_JonathanSlater lays out both the need and value to NICS, citizens and Ministers in a very relatable way through his learned experience. If you can spare 5 mins please have a read.
No more policy behind closed doors! publicpolicydesign.blog.gov.…

For anyone working to design/develop policy in NICS this from the Policy Lab in uk is well worth 5 mins of your day. Has links to resources you can use to help develop thinking on policy in an innovative, collaborative and enjoyable way. #policydesign #innovation #gamification
Today we are launching Systemic! Our new board game that enables policy teams to experiment with system change in their policy area through an interactive gamified tool. Have a go yourself or get in touch for a facilitated session!

Fires have caused significant damage to the Mournes in recent years - and that has led to calls for a strategy to manage this area of outstanding natural beauty. Research on a long-term plan for the Mourne mountains has now begun. Louise Cullen reports.

This is a great course if you are a #servicedesigner with an interest in #Futures - I really recommend it. The signals of change in the NI Civil Service are visible. If they could be applied to our #services with a #DesignThinking mindset where might it take us? @iLab_NI
Did you know that we can use signals of change to prompt conversation and discuss risks and opportunities? Learn all about it in the upcoming course "Service Design and Future Forecasting"
