Data Bites #7: Getting things done with data in government
Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don\u2019t get the attention they deserve.\n\nAt this event, the seventh in our series, our speakers presented their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each set of speakers had\xa0eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.\n\nIn November, we\xa0heard from:\n\nMiranda Sharp, innovation director at Ordnance Survey, on Geospatial\u2019s role in better citizen outcomes\nNic Granger, director of corporate at the Oil and Gas Authority, on Digital Excellence \u2013 using data as a catalyst for creating economic value\nDavid Kane, product lead at 360 Giving, on the potential of charity data\nMiranda Marcus, research &\xa0development programme lead at the Open Data Institute, on using open and shared data to improve local public services\nThis event was\xa0chaired by Gavin Freeguard, programme director and head of data and transparency at the Institute for Government.\n\nWe would like to thank the Ordnance Survey for supporting this event.
