If you're accountable for outcomes, risk, reputation and public money, but don’t always get a clear view of the work early enough to steer it, this is for you.

So I've only just seen these stickers but if you ever needed further proof that @transform.wales have the absolute stuff, that Goldie Lookin' Chain sticker is it.

I mean their reports and tireless work to make Wales better, right.

But that STICKER!
Our stickers have arrived in time for @govcampcymru.bsky.social on Friday!

Who's going? 🙌

We’re not going to save time or money just by turning on Co-pilot or buying shiny tech. What’s needed isn’t just better tools - it’s better ways of working. It’s time to stop looking for magic and focus on delivery.

The pressure on Welsh leaders to adopt AI is everywhere. But AI isn’t a miracle cure that’ll magically solve all our budget and efficiency woes. Silver bullets rarely work if the culture stays the same.

Ni fyddwn yn arbed amser na chost drwy droi ymlaen Copilot na thrwy brynu technoleg sgleiniog. Nid offer gwell yn unig sydd eu hangen, ond ffyrdd gwell o weithio. Mae’n bryd rhoi’r gorau i chwilio am hud a chanolbwyntio ar gyflawni.

Mae’r pwysau ar arweinwyr Cymru i fabwysiadu AI ym mhobman. Ond nid yw AI yn ateb gwyrthiol a fydd yn datrys ein holl broblemau cyllidebol ac effeithlonrwydd ar ei ben ei hun. Anaml y mae atebion hudol yn gweithio os yw’r diwylliant yn aros yr un fath.

It’s the civil service reform that is VITAL. You can’t just hope for change, you have to make it happen.
It was a really good idea that the government never quite took seriously. Missions required a new approach to governing and some actual civil service reform.
Perhaps mission-driven government was not such a bad idea...

This is good. Working in the open feels like a crucial easy win. On the NHS, Wales publishes far less data & fewer programme updates than England. Unclear why.

Openness isn’t just good for accountability. It’s a key innovation driver - ask any researcher or policy analyst keen to get hold of it!
The FM told @willhaycardiff.bsky.social she's frustrated with the pace of digital transformation. We are too.

The problem is systemic - we have an environment where it is easier to talk about change than to actually do it.

Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog wrth @willhaycardiff.bsky.social ei bod yn anfodlon gyda chyflymder trawsnewid digidol. Rydyn ni hefyd.

Mae’r broblem yn systemig - mae gennym amgylchedd lle mae’n haws siarad am newid nag yw hi i’w gyflawni mewn gwirionedd.

Os yw Cymru am gyflawni gwasanaethau sy’n bodloni disgwyliadau’r cyhoedd, dyma’r foment i fod yn glir ynghylch beth yw “da” — a dal ein hunain i’r safon honno.

Cyflawni digidol yn Llywodraeth Cymru: beth rydym yn disgwyl ei weld
Ym mis Medi 2025, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru y byddai’r Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol (CDPS) yn cael ei hymgorffori yn y sefydliad. Ers y cyhoeddiad hwnnw, prin yw’r eglurder cyhoeddus yng...

Rydym yn rhannu'r safonau lleiaf y dylem eu disgwyl gan y gyfarwyddiaeth newydd:

– eglurder o ran pwrpas
– tryloywder ynghylch blaenoriaethau
– offer ac arferion modern
– llywodraethu sy’n cefnogi cyflawni
– buddsoddiad mewn pobl a sgiliau

Dyma’r amodau ar gyfer ymddiriedaeth a chyflymder.
January 12, 2026 at 8:26 AM
Gall penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i ymgorffori’r Ganolfan Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Digidol (CDPS) fod yn drobwynt i gyflawni digidol yng Nghymru.

Os caiff ei wneud yn dda, bydd yn gwreiddio arferion da wrth galon y llywodraeth. Os na, mae perygl colli pum mlynedd o gynnydd. 🧵

Our new post sets out the minimum standards we should expect from the new directorate:

– clarity of purpose
– openness about priorities
– modern tools and practices
– governance that supports delivery
– real investment in people and skills

These are practical conditions for trust and pace.

Welsh Government’s decision to absorb the Centre for Digital Public Services (CDPS) could be a turning point for digital delivery in Wales.

Done well, it embeds proven practice at the heart of government. Done badly, it risks losing five years of progress. 🧵

Such a great day at Digidol AI at M-Sparc today!

I spoke to the Senedd cross-government group on digital about Transform Wales and what needs to happen to turbocharge transformation next year.

Great to hear from Welsh Gov CDO around plans for ethical, human centred use of AI
