Today’s the last day at work for our members, before we take our traditional three weeks off over the festive period. We published 32 posts on this blog in 2024 — about everything from strategic uses of ambiguity to how we’re using AI — but which were the most popular?
You can tangle yourself up in knots thinking too hard about end of year retrospectives. After all, anything published at the start of the year has almost 12 times more chance to be popular than something published last week, right? Also, we might have shared some posts on the socials more than others 🤔
That’s where a little light editorialisation comes in, meaning I can mention some of the work we did this year. For example, with the Digital Credentials Consortium on communications strategy, Friends of the Earth around AI Sustainability principles, and an evaluation project we carried out for Jobs for the Future and the International Rescue Committee around Verifiable Credentials for New Americans.
The rest of this post is divided into five thematic sections featuring three posts each:
- Open Badges & Verifiable Credentials
- Community Building
- Open Recognition
- Systems Thinking
- Everything Else
I hope you enjoy (re-)reading them as much as we enjoyed writing them. Why not use that clap button and/or reshare your favourites on whatever social network you’re using this week? 😊
