The ability to derive insight from data is essential to the success of technology initiatives. Leaders across the public sector are well aware that data analytics capabilities are no longer a 'nice to have', but an essential driving force for transformation.
Yet data analytics projects continue to be hamstrung by persistent issues that are difficult to overcome. The data itself is often incomplete, poorly recorded or trapped in silos; data scientists are in high demand and short supply, and IT teams are flooded with requests for analytics from the rest of the business.
So, what is the next step for digital leaders across healthcare, higher education, blue light services and government looking to supercharge their data science capabilities? As the volume and complexity of the data available to them continues to increase, is perfect information absolutely necessary – or can they derive insight from 'bad' datasets? What is the value in democratising data analytics, making it accessible to areas of the business outside IT? Can public sector organisations empower more employees to solve problems using the tools and techniques traditionally reserved for data scientists?
Our expert panel will discuss how public sector leaders can take their data – even 'messy', incomplete, imperfect – and turn it into transformational insights that ultimately create real change for UK citizens.
