Continuity.
Change.
Communication.
Co-ordination.
These are the qualities that drive Sir
Bonar Neville-Kingdom: Her Majesty’s
Data Sharing Czar, perhaps the most
admired and respected of all the Permanent
Secretaries in the Cabinet Office, indeed
across the entire Civil Service.
His dynamic “ring of soup” philosophy
of data sharing derives from the stock of
Neville-Kingdom’s Customer Insight. His
“empathy workshops”, in which senior
officials act out roles of different class,
ethnicity and gender, are the stuff of
Whitehall legend.
Now The Twitters of Sir Bonar Neville-
Kingdom brings you a declassified
glimpse of the thinking, principles and
beliefs at the highest levels of officialdom.
It is a book for every man, woman and
student on any of the government’s many
central databases.
Read it. Keep calm, and carry on.

"His [BoNK's] dynamic 'ring of soup' philosophy of data sharing derives from the stock of Neville-Kingdom’s Customer Insight." As ever, the intrepid innovator's insight proves, late in the day -- researchers find it so hard to keep up with him -- to be solidly grounded in empirical observations: "Scientists working at the world's largest particle smasher – the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, in Switzerland – have found that an exotic soup more than 10 trillion degrees Celsius in temperature was created immediately after the birth of the universe ... This sticky, gloopy substance, known as a quark-gluon plasma, behaved like a hot liquid, according to their results". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8148525/How-the-universe-evolved-from-a-liquid.html
This timely book is invaluable in assisting one to tiptoe through the whitehall mindscape unscathed. The wit and wisdom of Sir Bonar's twits gives entree at the top level of government. Essential reading for anyone who really want to know whats going on. Scary.
