Moved to BlueSky a few months ago and it turns out it worked! 🙌 So just popping back to sign off properly and to pin this guide - How to Leave Twitter: medium.com/@jamestplunkett/h…
There's been a lot of talk about the increasingly sclerotic state of bureaucratic institutions. In this post I share seven ways to save bureaucracy from itself.

A guest post today from @jamestplunkett
It looks at why the govt have struggled to reorient Whitehall around their missions - and what they need to do to revitalise the idea and give themselves a defining purpose.

Terrific piece, @jamestplunkett.
I appreciated lots here, including the reminder of Elinor Ostrom’s vision for government: build institutions that “bring out the best in people.”
What a wonderful purpose for local governments everywhere.

Just shared a new essay on evidence-based policymaking on BlueSky.
Are policies like medicines? An attempt to take stock and think about the next push on empiricism. A long read but it's a complicated topic!

A new vision for public digital work. Do we need one? And if so, what is it? Just shared a new post on Blue Sky here:

In the new issue of Renewal, @jamestplunkett argues a new ‘how’ of governing is taking shape. It combines missions, relational practices, and internet-era methods to create a new type of state.

Popped back here to share a new post but it seems very tumbleweed so I'll just say I've shared the link on Blue Sky and LinkedIn! (....which I admit is annoying but, you know, it's just nicer there and more engagement)

How do we drive AI adoption in the public sector? Some thoughts from what we learned last time. Seven mechanisms that seemed to work well.

Experimented with only sharing my latest blog post on Blue Sky. No noticeable drop in engagement vs when I was posting here and on Blue Sky. (Although tbf it wasn't a like for like comparison and n = 1!)

AI is the most consequential tech of our time. As AI firms gain power, how can we ensure ethical use?

It's been great to see Blue Sky take off this week. Think tanks, MPs, econonists, policy, digital folk, etc. I wrote a guide here (now updated due to demand) - how to transfer Twitter followers, how to quickly find people of interest, etc. (1/2)
medium.com/@jamestplunkett/h…
One Blue Sky tipping point we seem to have reached is think tanks joining - IfG, Nuffield, EPI, Bennett Institute, EPI, New Local, Nesta, etc, etc.
An interesting moment of power for social media managers. Low risk too - start a parallel account, cross-post, see how it goes.
Updated this due to growing demand as the Twitter exodus gathers pace. Added Starter Packs - themed follower lists to get up and running quickly on Blue Sky.
