Show Notes

Firstly we apologies for the audio quality near the beginning of the podcast, the internet was failing us slightly but thankfully not for too long!

The On The Horizon podcast series is brought to you by Onefish Twofish: www.onefishcomms.co.uk

In this 45-minute conversation with Martyn Evans - Head of Product at Unboxed - you will hear:

  • Learning from Government Digital Service - the surprise success story from the heart of UK central government
  • The unintended consequences of trying to scale something emergent
  • Why we should try to understand our stakeholders to the same depth as we understand the users of the service
  • How to find a way to open up the conversation from when a stakeholder says ‘we know what we want’
  • Why when people who are used to rules start using Agile, weird things can happen
  • Whether it’s worth the cost and blood/sweat/tears of trying to shift to a more agile way of working
  • The credible alternative to systematically rolling out Agile (and it’s very cool)
  • Why Martyn no longer tolerates people saying ‘digital is a way to save money’. It’s not - it’s a way to make things better.
