It is all about digital technology

Blimey is it December already? I've been back at work since April, but I now have two children and there hasn't been much time for blogging.

I was out for about two years thanks to morning sickness during pregnancy #2. Upon my return I noticed how digital technology has become even more deeply woven into our lives, much as you only notice a child has grown if you don't see them for a while.

This is a very exciting time to be writing about technology and I'm delighted to say that is exactly what I am doing. I will let you know my grand thoughts on it when I have some - at the moment I'm still getting my head round the fact that as much as the world has changed in since the internet began, the revolution has hardly begun.

After Footlocker and JD Sports, is the NHS next?

Just ghosted an opinion piece for CIHM which has gone up on Guardian professional. Do we really want patients to think of themselves purely as customers, with the potential for footstamping and tantrums that entails? It may have some short-term benefits but ultimately it encourages mindless individualism, the last thing the NHS needs. What is needed is true patient engagement and consumerist discourse works against that. Check the full argument out - by CIHM's brilliant Becky Malby and Irwin Turbitt - here .

Saving money on government property

Have just written an article for Construction News on property vehicles. It's the news analysis, State property revolution looms large . The government wants to secure huge savings by managing its built estate more efficiently. Fantastically interesting - partly around the complex deals that already exist and will have to be worked through, partly around the new styles of partnership that could emerge. But where I was particularly grabbed was around the culture change that may need to take place on the supplier side. Can construction firms and contractors champion government goals around efficiency, can they battle civil service inertia on behalf of the executive? It's not what they normally do!
