@libbi_gore and @gabbywilliamsmp absolutely on point at #IPAIWD2019- how can we find lateral ways of infusing change in society and building attitudinal change @fionagrinwald
Call out to anyone working in #behavioralscience - great opportunity to work on one of the critical social challenges of our time.... lnkd.in/gN9QTRt
Amazing speech from @GeorgeMcEnroe at #techdiversityawards - every female in Australia should check out @shebarideshare. Plus George rocks. Single mother of four? That’s impressive. And a startup founder? That’s insane.
Kudos to Steve Hodgkinson and @vicgovdhhs for their amazing Rise project bringing neurodiverse people into the public service - talk about being proud to be a public servant! Amazing work. @VicGovAu @TechDiversityAU

Useful insights especially in our @States_Change program, where teams are working on how they can help sponsors understand their role and what this looks like in practice (hint: very different to what everyone’s used to!)
From stand-ups to scrutiny. @beatricelucy & @jonathanflowers are talking about how we marry agile habits with traditional localgov governance in the first post of a 3 part series! blog.wearefuturegov.com/from… #agile #localgov
Time for a new narrative on being a public servant. @States_Change @VicGovAu apolitical.co/solution_artic…
Great discussion around transdisciplinarity - and the point that there is no “right answer”. Thanks for your time and insights @MiekevdBijl - look forward to reimagining the academic - government interface too...
It was great to meet the Victorian public innovation network in Melbourne yesterday. Thank you for the invitation @shrannah!
Thanks to @FamilyStudies Conference 2018 - thought-provoking panel on how to use #behaviouralinsights (and other new approaches #socinn) to get better outcomes for the people who matter? @NGruen1 on "blasting out space between the capillaries" & some great audience Qs @VicGovAu
Some handy hints for hacking HiPPOs from our own @vicgov behavioural insights unit.

Great to have the @nesta_uk #SoCVic team back in town! Good conversation tonight with @juanfelopez @bcaffin and @LeadVic on the need for confident humility in our public service - ie the deep understanding that no single person or organisation or discipline has all the answers. xitter.cf/States_Change/status/1…
