Data Bites #10: Getting things done with data in government
from IfG Events · host Institute for Government
This is an audio recording of an IfG Live Event. Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don’t get the attention they deserve. At this event, our speakers presented their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience. Gavin Freeguard, Programme Director and Head of Data and Transparency at the Institute for Government, chairs this event with our speakers: Tom MacInnes, Chief Analyst at Citizens Advice, on what traffic to their website tells us about what the population were worried about in the first phase of the COVID-19 crisis. Eleanor Stewart, Head of Transparency at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, on data as diplomacy. Glen Robinson, National Technology Officer for Microsoft UK, on keeping data safe and the benefits of scale. Terence Eden, Head of Open Technology at NHSX, on why making things open makes them better. We would like to thank Microsoft for supporting this event.
