The image is a visual metaphor using an iceberg to illustrate a point about software development. The Iceberg: Above the Water: We see a sleek yacht, representing a simple, user-friendly feature in the NHS App. This is what's immediately visible and accessible to the public. Below the Water: The vast majority of the iceberg lies hidden beneath the surface. This represents the complex infrastructure, systems, and processes that are required to make that seemingly simple feature a reality. It includes things like: Re-wiring the NHS's infrastructure Adapting the operating model Prioritisation decisions The image conveys the idea that while a software feature might appear simple on the surface, a significant amount of work and complexity is hidden behind the scenes. It emphasises the importance of prioritising and managing these underlying factors to ensure the successful delivery of the feature. Additional Details: The text "Prioritisation matters" highlights the critical role of decision-making in determining which features to build and how to allocate resources effectively. The image also has "public.digital" branding.

A tweet by Chris Fleming (my account) from June 2022 reading “Strategy is: making hard choices, explaining trade-offs, delivering on priorities. Strategy is not: looking at all the random shit you are doing and identifying some themes that vaguely stitch them together.”

A graphic depicting an iceberg floating in the see. The peak of the iceberg above the water is labelled “Seemingly simple feature in the NHS App”. The larger bulk of the iceberg below the water is labelled “Re-wiring the NHS’s infrastructure and operating model to deliver it.” At the base of the image is the text “Prioritisation” and the logo of Public Digital.
