From Promise To Value Creation: Overcoming Challenges With Creating, Scaling & Sustaining Value Creation From “Open” Public Sector Data Assets
Kate Harrington -
Head of Strategic Digital Initiatives, NSW Government Chief Information & Digital Office,
NSW Department of Customer Service
Dr. Ian Opperman - Chief Data Scientist, NSW Government
Aimee Whitcroft - Open Data Lead, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency
Jason Weigel - Chair & Regional Director Queensland, GovHack Australia
Over the course of its journey towards achieving open-data innovation, the push to open up data assets across government departments is observed to be falling short of the mark around value creation given the challenges with accessing critical, high value data assets due to privacy, sensitivity and risk concerns associated with their usage and also the heavy work required with building engagement in the community around these assets. In this session, we will cover how data analytics leaders across the government departments in Aus & NZ have been working tirelessly to bridge the gap between data sharing and innovation by:
• How to understand and quantify the “WHY” for open data across government agencies
• What can we learn from international government efforts to democratise public data assets?
• Identifying critical assets for the government that possess maximum promise – how to make sure we identify and release assets that the public can truly benefit from?
• Using multiple datasets to identify someone and re-linking -
• Developing a fit for purpose risk framework to link value to data sharing/opening?
