I’m back @hellobrink after 6 months maternity leave and, sure, it’s a bit intimidating but it’s got all the perks of starting a new job without any of the pressure to make friends or look smarter than I am. 10/10 highly recommend.
& Brink has been up to some cool stuff 🧵

After 5 years in U.K. civil service and the last 3 years at @hellobrink working with gov in other countries, I’m still convinced of the role of gov as innovator.
But what does it take? And how does it vary in different contexts?

I had a tonne of fun facilitating a session at #MWCBarcrlona a few weeks ago
Since then, I have been mulling on the Q - How will education be different 4 years from now? 🤔
BLUF: I’m optimistic but it’ll take a serious shift in the way things are done #edtech

Maybe (like me 2 years ago) the word “innovation” makes you cringe a bit.
At Brink this just means blending different approaches to solve big world challenges. Like how to use technology to improve education. Or how to scale assistive technologies. 🤓
We’re interested in people with experience in things like lean startup/ impact, agile, product management, service design.
But if you’ve read this far you should really read the full JD hellobrink.co/innovation-man…
