Open Data Institute Presentation

This past Friday I joined Open Data Institute Consultant Jonathan Wilson for the ODI Fridays lunchtime seminar talking about Leveraging data to demonstrate impact.  There were about 30 in attendance from across Europe and North America.  It was a pleasure to be invited to do the presentation and there were some really good questions!  ODI has posted the recording on their YouTube channel.  You can find it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4U-doqAXWY&t=5s

Welcome Back

 Welcome Back!

I am finally getting back into my blogging routine.  During the Canadian Election in August and September, there is a restriction on the use of social media by Government employees.  Given the limitations, I suspended posting until now, well after the election and any chance of contravening any regulations. 

It has been a busy time.  I did a presentation on Leveraging Data to Demonstrate Impact in September and will be doing a similar presentation for the Open Data Institute ODI Fridays tomorrow at 1:00 PM BST. The presentation will be recorded and available on the ODI YouTube channel.  More details to come. 

 At the same time I have been doing a lot of research on potential blog posts, so stay tuned for what is coming over the next few weeks. I am currently leading a project to assess corporate data culture through an assessment tool that looks at data maturity both from a corporate and individual perspective.  I am also working on refining data personas and contributing to several working groups on data skills competencies in the public sector.  All very interesting stuff.  

I apologize for the brevity of this posting.  More interesting content will be forthcoming, I promise!
