Data Bites #15: Getting things done with data in government

We will be taking questions virtually during the event via the Q & A function within Microsoft Teams.

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 month's event, the 15th in our series, the speakers will present their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker has eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.

Our speakers will be:

• Theo Blackwell, Chief Digital Officer for London, and Eddie Copeland, Director, London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI), on data sharing in London.
• Rachel Forty, Lead Data Scientist at the Food Standards Agency, on user focused tool design
• Chris Barnes, Lead Data Governance Officer at Highways England, on valuing Highways England’s data
• Jon Harrison, Senior Data Scientist, Department for Work and Pensions, on using automated A/B testing to inform decision making

The event will be chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Programme Director and Head of Data and Transparency at the Institute for Government.
