When I woke up this morning I recalled hearing an excellent presentation from Directgov’s Andrew Lamb at the BCS in late 2008 which opened my eyes to the value of user centred design. Fortunately I tracked down the past event with a link to the full set of Andrew’s presentation slides (zip file) for your consideration.

All week I’ve been looking after the guest list and with guests like Mozilla to O2 coming along it should be fun. There’s even a guy called Mr Majic attending which sounds interesting.
