    Doing Design Festival V3 'Better Together' - February 11 2022. Tickets: https://www.thisisdoing.com/the-doing-design-festival

    It’s beginning to feel and look a lot like Christmas, and possibly sound like it - as you’ll probably hear I’ve got a cold - like most of Europe we are all working our way through this whole pandemic - but we are all looking forward to Christmas in my household.

    So, there's been some updates from chapters, and we have an event happening this coming week in the UK, so will be hearing from Laura Falorni our wonderful chapter lead there.

    Slack Channel

    Wow, since the last episode, we had over 100 people join the This is HCD Slack channel. As we work towards leaving Meetup, this is where you will find your local tribe. As we work to build out and work with more community builders - feel free to drop in to the specific spaces on Slack and connect with other like minded people.

    There’s Chapters in there for Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Berlin, Cameroon, Ireland and UK.

    UK event

    Link to register for that is in the show notes. Even if you’re not in the UK, and can make it - pop along - it’s open to everyone!

    GUEST NAME: Paul Bailey
    TALK: Every year over 1.8 million practical driving tests are conducted in the UK. This completely paper-based service had seen little change in over 25 years and was in desperate need of modernisation.
    But with a user base reluctant to change and new to the technology, how can you bring everyone along successfully with digital transformation?
    Paul Bailey, Head of Design within SPARCK, will tell us his journey to digitise and improve and the UK’s Practical Driving Test Experience.
    In this talk, he’ll share his insights including…
    — why focussed user research, co-creation and continuous user engagement, is the shortest route to delivering innovation
    – what you need to do to successfully pass a Government Digital Services Assessment
    — how Human-Centred Design adds ‘Oomph!’ to Agile and empowers teams to stay laser focussed on user needs whilst delivering outcomes at pace
    And of course, he’ll explain how to design ‘for blind dinosaurs with sausage fingers.’

    Why we are leaving Meetup.com and upcoming This is HCD Ireland event with Gerry McGovern & Ulla Devitt

Today on the show we have a few things to chat about. So, there's been some updates from chapters, and we have an event happening this coming week in Ireland, and will be hearing from Sarah, our brilliant chapter Lead shortly. We will also include the event in Australia on November 17 again with Ines and Luke Craven which is a brilliant event - and replay the message from the last episode First up. Slack Channel We had a few teething issues around self-on boarding  to the Slack channel over the last week and that has been resolved now (hopefully)! As we move away from Meetup on Jan 1, we want to create more community level conversation within our Slack. A few people asked why we are leaving Meetup. Well there are a few reasons - I will cover off.   In my option, Meetup is a bad system for Community leaders to host with. The system itself is really clunky, poorly designed, and they never want you to leave. In fact once my credit card didn’t go through, around the time I was leaving Australia. Without knowing this, they offered one of the communities to the first person on the list. Who could have taken the community that I had been paying for and I would have lost it. Meetup didn’t care about this as this was their process. So you can’t really LEAVE or close the communityThey do nothing to encourage community interaction. All it is is a database with people. We want to do more in this space, and Meetup is not the right place for us to do this.We have a Pro Level Mailchimp account, and Slack channel and figure we can do this better - with a little more work. So hope people will move over and follow us off Meetup. It might not be perfect, but it gets us closer than working with Meetup Back in the day, when I was a musician and working for Myspace - I saw businesses pour millions and millions of dollars into their Myspace communities. I saw bands and musicians delete their websites and replay the narrative that you don’t need a website anymore, myspace does it all and better. This was probably true at the time for some. But what happened when a big corporate like News bought the website, and ran it into the ground? All that effort of building communities just floated away. I don’t want that for the This is HCD Community system. We would rather own and have better control how we work, and use platforms that are agnostic. So going back to Slack - in the show notes now, you can join up. Join one of the channels in your timezone, like UK, Ireland, Sydney, Berlin, Melbourne, Cameroon etc. If you know of other people in your area who might be interested, invite them along too. We want to create a two level community - at a Global Level and at a Community level.  Melbourne event happening soon too - and will have more in the next episode   UK event In other news, we are edging closer to our first event in This is HCD UK. Be first in line by signing up to our newsletter (link in the show notes) Ireland Let’s listen to the event in Ireland happening this week It’s with the one and only, Gerry McGovern, host of World Wide Waste Podcast and creator of the wonderful Top Tasks method - Gerry works with us at This is Doing too and recently spoke at the last Doing Design Festival in June with Ulla Devitt from Ireland Health Department (HSE) - it was one of the highlights of the day and we are excited for them to give a talk at This is HCD Ireland Sydney - November 17th  Let’s take a listen to Inez in Sydney about the upcoming event with Luke Craven. So that’s all for this episode - if you have any questions, please hit me up on Slack @gerry - or via email if you’re not part of the community at gerry@thisishcd.com Chat to you all soonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    About this episode

    For long time listeners of the show, you will be aware that This is HCD started as a podcast and after a year started to connect with as many change makers as possible who wanted to utilise the platform to connect, share and build local communities of HCD practitioners.

    To give you an overview of chapters that we now have in place we have Cameroon with Yannick, Sydney with Inez Garcia, Berlin with Myrto Papagiannakou , Ireland with Sarah Heffernan, UK with Laura Folorni and Melbourne with Megan McDonald. 

    If you’re interested in leading a chapter in your area, drop us a line to gerry@thisishcd.com and we will connect you to our wonderful and incredible Global Chapter Lead - Rebekah Murphy who is based in Sydney, Australia.

    Now - let’s kick off there’s been lots going on this week in the This is HCD and This is Doing worlds.

    First up, we have some amazing news, and that is KA McKercher - one of our newest podcast hosts will be training with This is Doing and is working away with Ann, our incredible learning designer based in Denver to create a Co-Design course in early 2022. That isn’t that long away…

    For members inside the Slack community - we have released new Chapter specific areas for you to join and connect with communities and practitioners in your area. Our goal is to connect, and we realise there are many ways to do this - and we want to test out how this works. We’d love to cultivate more connections to help a live ecosystem of sharing and knowledge exchange. Up until this point, we had applications for the Slack channel, and we are going to trial an open door policy to the Slack community - where anyone can join who is interested in learning about HCD and joining our incredible community. There are about 1600 people in there at the moment, and given it’s not as active as we’d like - we are really starting to focus on this a lot more, given that we are moving away from Meetup globally on Jan 1 2022. 

    Which brings us to the next bit of news - Sydney’s Chapter Lead, Inez Garcia has been in touch to tell us about an event they are hosting with Luke Cravens, a really smart person that I follow actually - and looks to have been doing some incredible work with the ATO in Australia (that’s the Australian Tax Office for non-Aussie listeners) let’s listen to Inez’s overview.
