In an era where data is recognized as a critical asset, the potential for informed decision-making and effective governance is vast. However, the use of data as a lever for public participation and societal benefit requires more than just mere collection and analytics. Meaningful use demands a strategic framework that enables the institutionalization for data as an actionable resource within the public sector.
The Data Foundation and George Washington University’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration invited the academic community (faculty and students), policy-makers and -influencers, practitioners, and data scientists to contribute proposals that explored the multifaceted challenges and opportunities for contextualizing data in public sector organizations.
Proposals were encouraged to address one of the following themes:
Proposals should have articulated the resources available and used for stakeholders that enable action. Within each presentation, presenters should have also aimed to offer insights about how data can be systematically transformed into an institutional asset that drives efficiency, transparency, and public value. We were particularly interested in contributions that provided actionable recommendations for policy, practice, and research, and also suggest where future policy research opportunities may be beneficial for the community in the next five years.
