Where did June go? Here is a catch up on the weeknotes I missed over the last few weeks.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/07/monthnote-june-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-05-29T13:55:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/a-journey-into-discovery/<p>Throughout 2023 I was seconded to work in our Digital Strategy team as Discovery Lead. This post is a summary of some of the key lessons and insights the team gathered about Discovery.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/a-journey-into-discovery/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-05-18T13:07:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-17th-may-2024/<p>Weeknotes are supposed to be a quick download and not a polished article. You can probably tell I end up in the middle quite a lot. This week is another example that starts and ends as a weeknote but diverts into discussing three different levels of being an Agile Coach.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-17th-may-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-05-10T08:22:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-10th-may-2024/<p>It felt good leaving some frustrations behind in my previous week note. This time I thought I would try to dispose of some persistent mistakes that organisations of all types make. These are also frustrating as I am not very good at persuading people that these are, in fact, mistakes and so they get repeated more than I would like.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-10th-may-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-05-08T20:27:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/public-service-bookshelf/<p>Some favourite reads (mostly listens these days) from my Public Sector bookshelf.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/public-service-bookshelf/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-05-06T18:00:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-3rd-may-2024/<p>Every week includes a mix of successes and frustrations. Most weeks I write more about the positive side of things but this week felt harder than normal - probably because of things going on outside work. I don’t want to carry the frustrations around with me as that doesn’t do any good. Instead I am going to leave them behind in this weeknote.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/05/weeknote-3rd-may-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-04-26T16:00:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/04/weeknote-26th-april-2024/<p>It feels like there is too much for one weeknote this time. Perhaps I need to prioritise but I find all these things fascinating. I keep nudging our teams to focus rather than have lots of things going on in parallel. Maybe I should take some of my own advice! Anyway here goes.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/04/weeknote-26th-april-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>2024-04-19T16:00:00Zhttps://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/04/weeknote-19th-april-2024/<p>I’m back from a couple of weeks leave (it was amazing, thanks for asking), cleared the usual backlog of messages and got stuck into the projects I am supporting.</p><p><a href="https://www.cioportfolio.co.uk/2024/04/weeknote-19th-april-2024/">Keep reading on @CIOPortfolio →</a></p>
