The terms digital and IT are often used interchangeably, but digital transformation is so much more than just technology. It's designing services around the needs of your users, it's creating an organisation with the culture and skills for change to succeed. It's about people.

As @CaerphillyCBC, like all LAs, grapple with more demand on services, alongside significant funding gaps - we’re working with them to take a fresh look at how they deliver. 📺 Wales This Week on @ITVCymruWales highlights the need and the response. itv.com/walesprogrammes/arti…

We're lucky to have @EmNorthcote join the team. Curious questions, better services, community insight, engagement models and a passion for public service, the Welsh language and Wales. A perfect mix! Croeso Em.

Enjoyed developing this new site for @CydCymru. We've worked with procurement and commercial professionals to look at different ways to present information that will help support delivery of Welsh procurement policies, including #NetZero, and prepare for procurement reform.
Our new Cyd.Cymru site is LIVE! 🎉 Read our blog about the development site, what’s next, and our ask of you 👉🏼 bit.ly/BetaSiteLive

As a migraine suffer I recognise much of this. I'm lucky that over the last couple of years I've found the right medication to control mine. It has literally transformed my ability to function and have fun. My advice for what it's worth: don't just accept it. I did for years.

Fab weekend in London and what a brilliant production of Witness for the Prosecution - would def recommend. @HarryGiubileo was great as Leonard Vole and the immersive experience was 👌🏻. Glad we had @Gowergirl9 on the jury to make sure justice was done Or was it?

I’ve just received notification of a tender from a procurement portal. It starts ‘Dear Sirs’. Dear Sirs? Really? Why do we have to use companies who at best are lazy and at worst think only men might want to bid for public sector work?

Ooo. They’ve just sent an update to the requirement and look! I’m no longer a ‘sir’. I’d like to think it’s because they’ve seen this tweet 😂

Nice weather and a bank holiday means an hour or two in the garden to enjoy a book. Except this one has no speech marks and it’s blowing my mind. I don’t think I can do it!
