9 j'aime•2,757 vues
Sophie Dennis shares the lessons from her recent adventures in policy land. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is exploring new ways of developing policy, bringing together multidisciplinary teams of policy experts, service designers, technologists and analysts, to work in an iterative, agile way on potentially significant new policies. Sophie worked as a service designer with two such teams. She discusses the benefits and challenges of these new ways of working, and advice for others hoping to do the same.

- 13. @sophiedennis WHAT WE DID WELL Multidisciplinary, cross-dept team – diverse expertise, collaboration space Policy as the product owner who defines value and outcomes Continuous engagement with stakeholders and SMEs, open show ’n’ tells, no surprises ‘Voice of the user’ even if limited Early exposure of delivery impact to policy, and vice versa Pre-ministerial intent/vision – opportunity for user needs and delivery realities to meaningfully shape policy WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER Start small, grow when ready Being agile, not doing Agile We’re not shipping working software – be flexible, practices and metrics will change Right mindset – uncertainty, complexity, high-level/strategic, flexible roles, problems not solutions New roles, skills and training – discovery coach, facilitation, Digital Academy tailored to discovery, generative user research, service mapping Find ways to work more in the open You have to be able to talk to users to do user-centred policy design

- 49. @sophiedennis What do we mean by “policy”?

How are they delivered? By which organisations? Does that have a positive or negative impact on whether policy is effective? Policy is intended to make an impact on citizens and society Citizens experience policy through services Policy is delivered through services What is it supposed to do to address the needs of citizens or society?
