🕶️ Summer vibes and public sector digital transformation 🕶️ Summer is here, and many of us have swapped the office for a hammock. As we soak up the sun, we want to share some insights on digitalization in the public sector from this year’s Almedalsveckan. Key Insights from Almedalen 2024: • Digitalization Progress: Slow due to legacy systems and cautious approaches. • Collaboration Needs: Unified infrastructure and standards are crucial. • Leadership Role: Essential for driving AI and digital transformation. • Innovation Culture: Fostering psychological safety in the workforce. • Agile Development: Emphasizing small, iterative processes for effective implementation. There are so many smart and engaged people working on digitalizing the public sector in Sweden, and everyone agrees that the only direction to take is forward. We look forward to being a part of this in the coming year and beyond. Dive deeper into these insights in our blog post in Swedish: https://bit.ly/3xQetbL Have a fantastic summer! ☀️

Young people represent almost half of the world's population and are set to be the worst affected by the social, environmental and economic challenges of our time. We think young people should be in charge of their futures. We think they should shape the future economy that works for them and the planet they will inherit.

When I hit the blinding lights on this day 2020 in Las Vegas final stop to our little mini USA tour 🇺🇸 and it was incredible, but when I came home everything changed. Covid hit, lost family and friends, made redundant so lost my job which I loved, but life’s too short not to wake up everyday and love what you do, life is not a gambling, but if so bloody back yourself, go all in, bet on YOU, especially when feeling the chips are down. I believe in fate, that thing so happen for a reason this tour inspired me so much now in 2024 Im creating my own Innovation tour, to seek out other businesses that we can connect to share ideas, projects and experiences more importantly, to learn from those mistakes made or best practices, as this will help support our Digital Innovation Skills Hub. Massive appreciation to all those supporting me and especially to those that have not, it’s a massive risk and at times I have struggled to keep driving it forward when coming up against many challenges and obstacles, however nominated now for over 8 awards gaining recognition and this is in test pilot phase, what better way to innovate than to have others create bespoke projects on what they need support at that moment in time. It’s how we can best Adapt, Grow and Evolve into a new digital AGE. Watch this space as it’s taking off and we’ve not even blasted off yet. #FlyingHighDISH 🚀 #usatour #familyvalues #dreambigworkhard #weeknd #vegas #fate #liveyourbestlife #nowhatifs #Optimism #appreciation #purposedriven #youmatter #socialimpact #yourvoicecounts #unknowndestinations

**Reflecting on an Incredible Week in Sydney! **🇦🇺 As I board the flight back home, I can't help but feel a surge of inspiration and appreciation. This past week has been nothing short of remarkable. Here's a glimpse into the whirlwind of experiences that left a mark: 1. Pitch Perfect Competition: seeing the team presenting their solutions with precision and flair was electrifying. 2. Design-Led Discovery Workshop: the fusion of design thinking and problem-solving ignited fresh perspectives from the whole team. 3. Security Copilot: the promise of safeguarding our customers with cutting-edge security solutions enriched with AI fills me with anticipation. It's not just about code; it's about trust. 4. Hands-On Learning: theory is essential, but nothing compares to rolling up our sleeves and diving into real-world scenarios. 5. Team Spirit: seeing the team in action, collaborating seamlessly, and celebrating victories—it's like a symphony of passion and purpose. As I settle into my seat, I carry these experiences with me. Sydney and Asia team, you've been extraordinary! Jon Hiroyuki-san Nicola Devendra Alan Jennifer Shreyacee Georgina Juan Cydney

End of an era! There are times in life when you are given the opportunity to do great things, and you have to seize it. This happened to me in April 2017 when Tide’s founder, George Bevis, and the CTO, Matt W., brought me in and gave me that life-changing opportunity. I will be forever grateful for that. But now, after seven years, the time has come for me to leave my baby blue, Tide 🙂. It was a hard decision, as I have been living and breathing Tide for the last seven years. I helped it grow from a tiny company of 25 people to a thriving organisation of aprox. 2000. We scaled our product, launched new offerings, opened offices in new locations, expanded our culture and global footprint, and achieved many more amazing things together. It was a true rollercoaster of emotions, with many failures (and learnings) but many more successes. I had a fantastic team (the best, really 😎) and incredible colleagues like Benjamin Petit, Tiago Bencardino and Samson Muhangi (and many others who are too many to mention in a post) who went above and beyond to help us achieve our vision. And a great manager, Guy Duncan who believed in me and pushed me outside my comfort zone. Although I am super excited about my unknown and uncertain future, it is a bittersweet feeling as I leave behind many friends, colleagues, and a great work culture. But I take with me a wealth of memories and lasting friendships that I will cherish forever and keep close to my heart. As for my next steps? I’m planning a good (and well-earned) break from work, taking the summer off to rest, reflect, reset, recharge, and restart. I have a pile of books to catch up on and a few courses I am eager to start (and finish). But more importantly, I am looking forward to spending quality time with family and friends under the sun and near a beach! There is also something cooking in the oven for September, but I’ll save that cake for a future post. :) #tide #endofanera #changes #transitions
