Description
How well do you really understand data, including how to collect, store, manage, analyze, share and use it?
In today’s digital age, public servants need to think seriously about their response to this question because data is at the core of everything we do. The more we understand data, the better services we are able to provide to Canadians.
Join top experts as they share their perspectives on the power and promise of data analytics and the link between data, trust and privacy. You will learn about "data blindness," explore collaborative efforts that can provide insights on improving how we serve citizens, and hear about innovative data-driven approaches to policy and program delivery.
