Cefais y fraint ddoe o ymuno â’r tîm ar gyfer y Gynhadledd Ddigidol yn MSparc. Braf oedd cael y cyfle i ryngweithio, cyfarfod pobl newydd fel Ali Hanbury PhD a hyrwyddo #ysgrifennutriawd. Dwi’n gwerthfawrogi pob cyfle sy’n cael ei roi imi. It has been a busy two weeks between traveling for face to face meetings and numerous requests for translation within Centre for Digital Public Services / Canolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol . Yesterday I had the pleasure to join our team at the Digital Conference in MSparc. It was great to network and meet new people such as Ali Hanbury PhD and discuss #ysgrifennutriawd. I appreciate all the opportunities that comes my way.

(This is a bilingual post, English posted below the Cymraeg) Mae’n bryd cyfarfod ag aelod arall o’r garfan gyntaf ‘Arwain gwasanaethau cyhoeddus modern’! 🎉    Dyma Joseph Lewis Reid...   Teitl swydd: Uwch reolwr cynnyrch     Sefydliad: Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru | Welsh Revenue Authority     Pam wnaethoch chi ymuno â'r rhaglen?  Roeddwn eisiau deall mwy am yr heriau a rennir ar draws y sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Rwy'n hyderus y gallwn ddarparu a gwella gwasanaethau i'r cyhoedd, ond dim ond drwy ddysgu oddi wrth ein gilydd a bod yn agored i newid y gallwn wneud hynny.     Beth ydych chi'n gobeithio buddio o'r rhaglen?   Hoffwn gael rhwydwaith gwell o bobl y gallaf ddibynnu arnynt am gyngor a mwy o offer ar gyfer sut y gallaf fynd i'r afael â heriau.     Beth yw eich talent unigryw?   Rwy'n siarad Tsieinëeg Mandarin a Japaneeg (a bellach yn dysgu Cymraeg). Ni wnaf sylw ar ba un sy'n fwy anodd😉     Beth ydych chi wedi dysgu yn dilyn 2 ddiwrnod cyntaf y rhaglen?  Mae yna ehangder hynod ddiddorol o waith yn digwydd ar draws y sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru ac awydd gwirioneddol i gyflawni pethau gwych i'n defnyddwyr. Mae gan wahanol sefydliadau heriau gwahanol ond mae'r ewyllys da yn rhan o bob un, y cyfan sydd angen i ni ei wneud yw gweithio allan sut i'w ddatgloi.    Diolch am ymuno â ni Joe! 🤝 --- It’s time to meet another member of the first ‘Leading modern public services’ cohort! 🎉    Here's Joseph Lewis Reid...   Job title: Senior product manager    Organisation: Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru | Welsh Revenue Authority     Why did you join the programme? I wanted to understand more about the shared challenges across the Welsh public sector. I'm confident we can deliver and improve services for the public, but we can only do that by learning from each other and being open to change.    What are you hoping to gain from the programme? I'd like to have a better network of people I can rely on for advice and some more tools for how I might approach challenges.    What's a unique talent of yours? I speak Mandarin Chinese and Japanese (and now learning Welsh). I won't comment on which is more difficult😉   What's your key takeaway from the first two days of the programme? There's a really fascinating breadth of work happening across the Welsh public sector and a real desire to deliver great things for our users. Different organisations have different challenges, but the goodwill is there, we just need to work out how to unlock it.    Diolch for joining us Joe! 🤝

What a fantastic day at #Digidol24! My organisation had the privilege of sponsoring the event, and it was inspiring to be surrounded by so many passionate individuals eager to transform services in our fast-paced digital landscape. This morning’s Cross Party Group for Digital and our afternoon session on leading modern public services highlighted a common theme: the perception of “digital” as a barrier to change, particularly among leaders. It’s fascinating how the very word "digital" can cause a bit of fear. Another key takeaway was the importance of celebrating success. In Wales, we often shy away from showcasing what’s working well. If we want to learn and progress quickly, we need to acknowledge and celebrate all wins, no matter how small. And, of course, the highlight of any in-person event is making new connections. This is a core aspect of our new Leadership programme—ensuring these connections lead to real collaboration. I even reconnected with someone today I hadn’t seen in 12 years! We need to find ways to bring people together more frequently to share and learn from one another. As a communications professional in this space, I’m excited about my role in facilitating this for public service professionals in Wales. However, I can’t do it alone, and neither can CDPS. It’s through partnerships with other connectors, like M-SParc, that real magic can happen. #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #Collaboration #PublicServices Centre for Digital Public Services / Canolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol Rhun ap Iorwerth Glyn Jones Stefano Ghazzali Dylan Roberts Mathew Henshaw Peter Thomas Myra Hunt Pryderi ap Rhisiart Athena Jones Tom Burke M-SParc
