Data Bites #28: Getting things done with data in government

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 month's event, the 28th in our series, the speakers presented their work in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience. This month's speakers were: Alison Pritchard, Deputy National Statistician and Director General for Data Capability, Office for National Statistics, on the Integrated Data Service Ed Humpherson, Head of the Office for Statistics Regulation, on how it’s not enough for data to be technically strong, and the need for intelligent transparency based on trustworthiness, quality and value Laura Sandys CBE, Chair of the Energy Digitalisation Taskforce, on the case for limited Public Interest Digital Assets Leanne Summers, Head of AI Strategy at NHS Transformation, on developing a learning health and social care system enabled by data and AI. The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government. Find out more about Data Bites: https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/data-bites
