On my way to Manchester for my director's away day. Can't wait to meet the whole team for the first time and talk about AI and insight at HMRC. Exciting times ahead!

I've passed the first step of my Coaching & Mentoring certification, and will now do partially supervised coaching/mentoring within my organisation. If you are a Civil Servant at any grade – especially at HMRC/DWP – and interested in being a coachee/mentee, please reach out.

This on public holidays around the world is fun - I learned that Nepal has over 30 public holiday days/year, and presumably very little gets done in Sep/Oct there... www.not-ship.com/when-do-most... /via @puntofisso.bsky.social's newsletter (worth subscribing to even if you're not a 'data' person)

We @connectedbydata.org are planning a conference next year (early March, in Manchester) about people, power and participation in (public sector) data and AI. If you were coming, who would you really like to hear from as a keynote speaker to kick off the day?

Great piece of data journalism! Increasingly apparent that the public sector is turning more and more to the private sector for its algorithms, with a net decline in accountability. @edjnet.bsky.social Thanks for sharing @puntofisso.bsky.social www.europeandatajournalism.eu/cp_data_news...

Social media platforms change, but my yearly marrow pic is always a certainty. This is marrow 2025, not the best of years... #allotment

Love this piece by @puntofisso.bsky.social , especially his learnings around intersectionality and bias in the data. nightingaledvs.com/bus-station-...
