On January 22, 2025 at 4.00-5.30 P.M. CET Luis Garcia, Brian Morgan, and I will host the next PoGoSIG reading group. During this reading group we will talk about the intricacies of the public sector context within which design work is done. What exactly characterizes this context? How does it impact design efforts? What are factors that enable or constrain design? And how can this context be strategically navigated? Interested? You can register via the following link: https://lnkd.in/etJD8CMn. There, you will also find the readings that we have selected for you. Want to join the PoGoSIG community? You can sign up to the newsletter at pogosig.drs@gmail.com.
