Too often, new regulations can’t be implemented smoothly or fully digitally, creating bureaucracy and frustration instead of relief. The Center for Legal Drafting (Zentrum für Legistik) is ready to change that. Here we shed light on how we approach this work: digitalservice.bund.de/blog/wie-wir...

A blog post soon in the making: In March, @beliebig.eu and I will be writing about open roadmaps and route maps, why they matter, and how to do them. We might also touch on design patterns for publishing such maps. We will be building on some work from @rossferg.bsky.social, of course.

The strategy is delivery

Open roadmaps and publicly sharing performance indicators are what we aim for in all our work at @digitalservice.bund.de. @beliebig.eu and team show how it’s done – for the emerging Policy Excellence Centre (‘Zentrum für Legistik’) of the German Federal government: zfl.bund.de/zahlen-und-f... 1/X

techforce.gov and the fitting analysis of Mikey Dickerson medium.com/@mikeyd/tech... - are a must read for #GovTech. All the content aside, the page does one thing right: an extensive FAQ section as the strategic centerpiece, not for you as a direct user, but for LLMs as structured trainings data.

How #ServiceDesign and good services contribute to more trust in the state: Sabrina @feuerherd.bsky.social and I blogged in German 🇩🇪 on the @digitalservice.bund.de blog. We give an overview of whole services approaches and looked at studies from @oecdgovernance.bsky.social and @initiatived21.de.

Is "Problem first" dead?, Is the one-fits-all UI over? - and what does that imply for us #productmanagers? My take: Rigorous problem understanding is becoming a key differentiator, not an obstacle. www.beliebig.eu/weeknote/202...

User needs first Service design second Operating model third Technology fourth This order is still reversed way too often.

Visiting Skandinavien or Baltic states always feels like a window to the future of #GovTech. Thanks for inspiring #SEMIC25 and thanks for hosting #DK - on the way to the metro it was nice to see how the #digitaldivide is fought with offline advertisement!

Good digital public services are vital to democracy. 48% of people say that their trust in the state would increase if digital services were easy and quick to use. Which they mostly aren’t in Germany. Source: @initiatived21.de’s eGOV monitor 2024

Fehlende Digitalkompetenz bzw. ausbleibende Inspiration durch limitierte Bekanntheit von digitalen “Gesetzmäßigkeiten” bleibt auch in der Gesetzeserarbeitung die Herausforderung. Mit den 5Prinzipien für digitaltaugliche Regelungen versuchen wir hier Wandel zu ermöglichen #Digitalcheck

Everybody needs more “provocotypes” in their work life’s! Never show up to a stakeholder meeting without one - thanks for the new inspiring vocabulary @martinjordan.com

We are supporting law and policymakers in the earliest part of the drafting process. For me, it’s a major frontier for #GovDesign. Our #DigitalCheck team just improved the landing page of our support offering for digital-ready legislation work. 👉🏻 erarbeiten.digitalcheck.bund.de

H/t to @feuerherd.bsky.social and the incredible #Digitalcheck team for this ⬇️. The unit of delivery is the team - and what a team this is 💙

Just because people work in sprints and think they are ‘ #agile ’ doesn’t mean that they work iteratively. It’s pretty impressive with what level of confidence government colleagues insist they work in such a way, while their practice remains pretty waterfall-like.

"They could have talked to career public employees or nonpartisan government experts. But they didn’t, because they did not want to know."

Wichtiger als Wirtschaft vor 8 wäre Klima vor 8, sorry isso.

Über 90% des globalen #Kapazitätszuwachs bei #Strom im Jahre 2024 fanden bei #ErneuerbareEnergie statt, aber fast zwei Drittel in China. Das ist in der Tat eine stille Revolution, bei uns langsamer als in #China, aber man sieht sie selbst im Norden von #Brandenburg auf Schuppendächern. #Spiegel

Alles daran ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht der Pressefreiheit: Die Union will mit dem IFG eines der wirksamsten Instrumente des investigativen Journalismus abschaffen. Treibende Kraft ist ausgerechnet Philipp Amthor – dessen Nebentätigkeiten über eine IFG-Anfrage aufgedeckt wurden.

It’s the unscheduled sofa exchanges that make the difference! Preparing a deck for tomorrow’s visit of a foreign delegation, I had the urge to visualise what we do at @digitalservice.bund.de. I ended up mapping our current activities against the #policyCycle, which I had not thought of before. V1
