What could kill NSTIC? A friendly threat assessment in 3 parts.Phil Wolff
At two events 18-months apart, teams of suits, geeks, and wonks (industry experts, technologists, public policy analysts) brainstormed and scored what could lead to failure of NSTIC, an international effort to create an identity ecosystem. The whitepaper at http://pde.cc/nsticrisks recaps the long list of potential threats, a shorter list of preventive strategies, compares the 2011 and 2012 events, and names the two greatest threats: poor user experience (harming trust, adoption, use) and imbalance among the forces tying the identity ecosystem together.

London data and digital masterclass for councillors slides 14-Feb-20LG Inform Plus
On 14th February 2020, the Local Government association ran a masterclass discussion day for councillors and elected members on data and digital transformation in local government. It took place in London. This is the slide set that was used to steer discussions
Traditionally, we view problems as being isolated to one area or another. We fail to see the interconnectedness of issues, and how making progress in one area can have a far reaching effect on another. Systems thinking forces us to move away from the traditional way, and instead looks at how each issue is connected to the other. It removes boundaries and allows us to merge multiple standpoints and methods into one, creating a more complete solution that is all around stronger than each individual part.
Problem: Improve the employment rate and Median salary.
How: Moving away from traditional thinking to systems thinking.
Solution: Domain-based decentralized platforms are organized around connections, patterns of organization and how the system behavior emerges out of those patterns.
