  Global Government Forum — Public Service Data Live

  Many governments have identified improved use of data as key to better public services. Innovations include a presumption in favour of openness, a requirement to share data across departments, data inventories to ensure government knows what data exists, where it is stored, and how it can be accessed, and increased use of data visualisation to help ministers and officials understand in real time the latest evidence underpinning decisions. Hosted by Simon Case, Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service, Public Service Data Live brings together UK civil servants to share insight and to provide practical advice and skills to improve how data is used across government – and the wider public sector.
