Mike WilliamsonI hadn't heard of this until #letsThinkDigital talked about it:
The End of the Ontario Digital Service and What it Means
Super sad if you care about functioning government (of any size).

vasta@sleepycat Yeah, we’ve all been mourning it. Hard to see something you created, something that did so much good, dismantled with the stroke of a pen.
Anyways, not that my voice is important at all, but I wrote a little bit about it here: https://www.inthemargins.ca/dissolution-of-ods
@vasta ❤️
If it's anything like CDS I'd guess that the front line folks have different answers to "what went wrong" than the execs do.
Doing a post-mortum on both CDS and ODS would be super interesting. I would buy that book.
@sleepycat id buy it too. I’m having trouble figuring out the “why” of the dissolution; would love to hear from an outsider what those reasons were, at every level.
matt@sleepycat oh no! That was an initiative I looked up to and hoped we could emulate here in the Yukon :-/
