Event Overview
Driving Government Transformation through Data and Analytics
Data is a catalyst for driving innovation and transformation in governments across the world. Over the years, data driven decision making has played a crucial role in overcoming the various challenges caused by the pandemic. A data-driven culture can help organizations extract insights, allocate resources effectively, lower operating costs and keep up with changing citizen needs. Given the rapid growth and use of data, stakeholders have also become more data centric with maturing expectations and demands.
With technology and automation continuously shaping our future, it is imperative to have a solid data foundation that is built on a sustainable data strategy. Given the abundance of data all around us, integrated and comprehensive data strategies and tools are needed in order to maximize the value derived from data. How do data leaders accelerate their data journey and capitalize on their momentum? Are your data strategies updated and renewed? How do you ensure that data and analytics is part of business as usual?
To help your organization’s data journey, we are bringing you the Data Management and Analytics Roadshow 2023 that will unite data leaders to discuss best practices and key lessons that can help you strengthen your existing data strategies and ensure a data-driven future.
