@benholliday #govdesign DESIGN IS A GOOD IDEA
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign Design is everything that your product does.
It’s also the service around your product. How it’s sold, distributed and supported
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign Making things digital ≠ making digital things
@benholliday #govdesign Making things digital is employing the culture, mindset,
practices, processes, skills and technologies of the internet era Tom Loosemore (adapted)
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign Digital is something you are, not something you
do Janet Hughes - bit.ly/digital-org
@benholliday #govdesign PURPOSE
@benholliday #govdesign Everything we do is about changing lives by
providing security, extending opportunity and giving people in our society the support they need
@benholliday #govdesign This is the real challenge: An organisation that
delivers services organising itself around the needs of its users
@benholliday #govdesign TEAMS
@benholliday #govdesign Any creative process needs clarity and focus
@benholliday #govdesign …creativity isn’t about making additions; it’s about making
subtractions. Ideas need honing, simplifying and focussing Will Gompertz
@benholliday #govdesign Design team of 40+ people specialising in service
design, interaction design, content design and front end development
@benholliday #govdesign Building a design community benholliday.com/building-a-design-community
@benholliday #govdesign 1. Make sure everyone can talk to each
other 2. Give everyone the opportunity to meet face-to-face 3. Encourage everyone to work in the open
@benholliday #govdesign Everyone should be able to talk about
their work. This gives visibility to everything that we’re working on, and encourages collaboration benholliday.com/building-a-design-community
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign LEADERSHIP
@benholliday #govdesign Does your organisation have design leadership?
@benholliday #govdesign The only way for you to lead
is by example
@benholliday #govdesign Design leadership, the secret to getting things done:
being pragmatic (you can’t win every battle today), and optimistic (everything is worth fighting for)
@benholliday #govdesign CULTURE
@benholliday #govdesign Culture is everything we do, how we
do it, our intentions, and how we work together to make it happen
@benholliday #govdesign Culture is the result of collective, small, actions

@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign LANGUAGE
@benholliday #govdesign Be deliberate with your language
@benholliday #govdesign The goal should be to remove anything, including
language, that creates barriers when working on a public service benholliday.com/the-problem-with-customer
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign We call it user research not user testing.
We test our design, our words and our ideas. We don’t test our users Leisa Reichelt userresearch.blog.gov.uk/its-user-research- not-user-testing
@benholliday #govdesign FOCUS
@benholliday #govdesign If we’re not communicating well with each other,
it’s unlikely we’re communicating well with people using our services Melanie Cannon
@benholliday #govdesign Start with ‘why’. Everything we work on gets
started for a reason. Then move on to ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘how’
@benholliday #govdesign MISTAKES
@benholliday #govdesign Take small risks every day
@benholliday #govdesign The greatest enemy of success is the attempt
to fortify against failure Ed Catmull (co-founder Pixar)
@benholliday #govdesign Ways to manage failure: • prioritise rituals of
doing • experiment more • shorten the feedback loop
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign
@benholliday #govdesign Design at its best frames the unusual and
celebrates diversity. Its mistakes make it human. It’s made up of complex emotions
@benholliday #govdesign Cows on the path. Not just paving
the cow paths
@benholliday #govdesign COLLABORATION
@benholliday #govdesign If you care about design then don’t worry
about who gets the credit
@benholliday #govdesign What’s your campfire, or what draws people together
in your organisation?
@benholliday #govdesign …move from ‘everyone wants to solve the problem’
to ‘everyone wants the problem to be solved’ benholliday.com/everyone-wants-to- solve-the-problem
@benholliday #govdesign JOY
@benholliday #govdesign Design has a unique opportunity to bring joy
into the world. The question is always ‘why not’?
@benholliday #govdesign Joy is always found in the detail of
application and experience
@benholliday #govdesign Enjoy the size of the problem benholliday.com/learning-to-enjoy-the-size-of-the-problem
@benholliday #govdesign …the more seriously we take things the more
ridged or unimaginative our work can become benholliday.com/learning-to-enjoy-the- size-of-the-problem
@benholliday #govdesign YOU
@benholliday #govdesign Finding your edge gives you a focus. It
makes everything more real
@benholliday #govdesign We do our best work when we have
something to lose (even if it’s just our reputation). This means accountability for outcomes and learning to work through failure
@benholliday #govdesign You earn the extreme moments of optimism from
the daily struggles we all fight our way through Bruce Springsteen
