How can we take more purposeful data-driven actions? Participate in an interactive discussion, supported by Paul Ramsay Foundation.
30 November, 9.30–10.30am (This event is FREE but registration is essential)
Attitudes about whether our data-driven lives are positive or negative vary according to where you stand. For a variety of reasons, community trust in data use is low. However, negative visions of data-driven futures can have a detrimental impact on how we can make better use of data - to inform policies, program design and evaluation, and create optimal social outcomes.
So what should a data-driven future look like for Australia? Whether you manage data in policy, government, health, education, defence or community settings, you’ll know that simply gathering data and running it through sophisticated models is not enough - we need to see data as just one part of a complex system. But equally acknowledging the complexity is not enough. How can we take more purposeful data-driven action?
Supported by the Paul Ramsay Foundation, the ANU School of Cybernetics is working on these questions. Come along to hear more about our work, share your own experiences of complex data governance and contribute to the discussion.
