Things you know, that ain’t so, or ‘everything you thought you know is false porn’… the Cobra Effect

A tweet: Wow, I had spent the longest time believing the Cobra effect story of the British Raj was true, but had trouble finding a proper cite. Turns out googling it with "apocryphal" did the trick: it's entirely made up. A lesson in trusting libertarian economistshttps://theweek.in/columns/bibek-debroy/2019/11/01/cobra-skin-and-rat-tails.html (1) Siberian fox on Twitter: "Wow, I had spent … Continue reading Things you know, that ain’t so, or ‘everything you thought you know is false porn’… the Cobra Effect →

‘Digital’ vs ‘service design’ vs ‘BPR’ vs ‘TOMs’, versus designing services, in organisations, for people (and the role of GDS)

(History here: https://gds.blog.gov.uk/story-2013/) In doing so they launched digital … Continue reading ‘Digital’ vs ‘service design’ vs ‘BPR’ vs ‘TOMs’, versus designing services, in organisations, for people (and the role of GDS) →

But so much of what we expected … Continue reading What did we (not) learn from the Covid period? →
