Steve Peters: Monsters and Transformers

This deck was used to support Steve's talk at http://power-of-data-2017.swirrl.com/ about how quality data analysis can make for more efficient and effective policy and service delivery. From data monsters, who breathe the fire of expensive licences and hide data in caves, to data engineers who are integral to good data infrastructure, he provides real-world examples of how data analysis has led to a better understanding and measuring the impact of complex real-world problems across authorities.

9. We are making progress… Skills  and  Capability target  building buildings  within  100m touching  buildings  with  a   height  difference  >  3  metres touching   buildings We  are  beginning  to  apply  new  Data  Science  techniques  to  enrich  our  data  sources,  analysis  and  insights:  for   example…. Scope  for  Building  upwards… Locations  of  Mosques
10. We are making progress… Explore,  visualise  and   extract  our  data  in-­‐situ…. Connect  directly  to  our  data  (via  our  APIs)  and   re-­‐use  it  in  your  website   Tools  and  infrastructure Building  a  trusted  and   maintained  source  of  DCLG   data  in  fully  open,  re-­‐usable   (linked  data)  formats
11. Where next? But… How  best  to  clarify   where  we  want  to   be? And  how  we’ll  get   there  within  reality   of  significant   resource   constraints.
