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. Data Bites aims to change that.

Our latest event, the 38th in our series was a defence special 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.

This month's speakers were:

Cameron Douglas, Engineering and Logistics Defence Lead at Palantir Technologies, on how to maintain vital control over sensitive data
Ben Holloway, Head of Royal Navy Digital
Anna Knack, Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Emerging Technology and Security, The Alan Turing Institute, on their new report, Human-Machine Teaming in Intelligence Analysis
Commander Sue Seagrave, Data Sheriff for Royal Navy Project Renown, on growing the ‘data posse’ to improve Royal Navy ship availability

The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government.
