Data Bites #36: 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 our latest event, the 36th in our series, where the speakers will present their work in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker has eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.   December's speakers were:  Ishraq Irteza, Deployment Strategist at Palantir Technologies, on the use of data in the Homes for Ukraine scheme Chris Pope, Principal for Research covering Digital, and Information Strategy at the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on data for local areas Tom Smith, Director of the Spatial Data Unit and Chief Data Officer, at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, on data for levelling up Liz Zeidler, Chief Executive, at the Centre for Thriving Places The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government. We would like to thank Palantir for kindly supporting this event.
