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 event, the seventh in our series, our speakers presented their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each set of speakers had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.

In November, we heard from:

Miranda Sharp, innovation director at Ordnance Survey, on Geospatial’s role in better citizen outcomes
Nic Granger, director of corporate at the Oil and Gas Authority, on Digital Excellence – using data as a catalyst for creating economic value
David Kane, product lead at 360 Giving, on the potential of charity data
Miranda Marcus, research & development programme lead at the Open Data Institute, on using open and shared data to improve local public services
This event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, programme director and head of data and transparency at the Institute for Government.

We would like to thank the Ordnance Survey for supporting this event.
