Today’s coffee companion works in the health service. We talked about:

  • the challenge of bringing design thinking into public policy creation
  • organisations, silos and how trouble happens at the joins
  • how many dimensions of silo there are in the provision of health and social care
  • keeping accountable people accountable but still co-creating
  • evidence-based policymaking
  • how complex the term “Patient” is
  • how an “Operations Manager” in the NHS probably isn’t managing operations
  • the Peckham Experiment
  • avoiding steering committee syndrome
  • work that ultimately has a real purpose even if it can get mired in bureaucracy

100 Coffees is an experiment in being intentionally unintentional.
