202210:301BOnlineHow do we make digital sustainable? (in every sense).

How can digital last for decades, and not be just about the next big delivery? Building permanent teams, considering use of energy and other resources, avoiding accumulating legacy, being flexible enough for the next big unknown challenge, making the money work.

202210:301COnlineCampfire chat: Openness and transparency.

At Unboxed, openness and transparency is one of our core values, and we’ve recently been discussing what it means and what it looks like in post-covid working environments. Join us for a group conversation to share your experiences of openness and transparency; why we should be open and transparent, your experiences of what works and doesn’t, and hear more about how Unboxed tries to bring openness and transparency to our day to day work, within our own organisation and with clients.

202210:301DOnlineLocal Gov as a Product/Platform/Service.

Local gov uses hundreds of digital applications to deliver its services, provided by just as many suppliers and using a huge range of technologies. Very little is currently open source, but this is starting to change. What are the best approaches to take to work towards an open source set of tools which could be offered as products, combined into a platform and or available as a service? What’s stopping us? What’s already out there? And is that even the right approach?!		Glen Ocsko @glenocskoUK GovCamp 2022: Friday, session 1D

202210:301EOnlineThe (absolute?) state of open government.

It's been a... challenging few years for open government in the UK (and elsewhere). What can we do about it? Where can we make progress? *How* can we make progress? What should the big asks be? Does the idea still resonate? Is it the right thing to focus on? Am I being too pessimistic?		Gavin Freeguard @gavinfreeguardUK GovCamp 2022: Friday, session 1E
95
202210:301FOnlineBringing real people all the way into the ‘policy tent’ can be scary, but also incredibly fulfilling. Working with, not for, people is taking a step beyond some of our more frequently used design approaches.

Join us to talk about how co-design (not just User Centred Design!) has helped us make the right decisions for the future of farming.

We’ll be diving into our experiences designing new farm health and welfare policy; why we decided to co-design; what we almost got wrong; and how we’ve helped empower industry to influence the right change. Join us to share your share your wins, wants and woes in doing co-design, and help us think about how we can better shape things to level the playing field to allow for even better-informed policy and service design across government. Whether you are a co-design expert, or are asking “what is co-design?” everyone is welcome in this tent! 		Neville Cavendish @nevccavendish

202211:302AOnlineOperating Models - what a difference a year makes... Come and celebrate with us!

At Govcamp 2021 we came to a session on operating models and decided we were going to do something to help explain them... so we did! We wanted to share the story of the community we've built over the last year, the resource we've developed and get input on what next in 2022. So if you're energised or terrified by operating models (current or target) or want to talk community building, please join us for a session set by whoever turns up! 		Mark Buttanshaw @buttansma

202211:302COnlineHow to talk about agile to non-digital audiences

Digital teams have learned how to do GDS style agile delivery. But there can be difficulty convincing the rest of the organisation – especially decision makers and non-digital teams – if they have little experience with agile. Particularly in local government, or smaller departments. When you can see immediate benefits to adopting waterfall, then discovery, alpha, beta, live phases can seem long-winded, and narratives and terminology around agile methodologies can seem frivolous or impenetrable. Let’s explore how to talk to non-digital people and teams about the benefits of an agile approach.		Annie Heath @Annie3HUK GovCamp 2022: Friday, session 2C

202211:302DOnlineLots of Service Owners in government are one of very few (sometimes the only!) in their organisation. Often, they're drafted in to a digital leadership role from a subject matter expert role. With the Service Owner training on pause, how do new Service (and Product) Owners find peer support and resources? How do we support subject matter experts in digital leadership roles? How can digital teams organise to better learn from the wealth of subject and policy expertise these leaders often bring? Ellie CravenUK GovCamp 2022: Friday, session 2D
