Data Analytics for Effective Decision Making 2016

Data analysts hold an important role in uncovering social, scientific and environmental trends and drawing insightful conclusions which influence key decision makers. With changes in legislation towards open data access across government departments, we are currently seeing a breakdown of traditional 'silo' models of departmental data analytics and a move towards information collaboration. This conference will address the key issues faced by government departments and agencies in the wake of these legislative developments such as a push towards data sharing, building analytic team capability, increasing data linkage and encouraging greater public engagement with data. Through these discussions, delegates will discover innovative methods of analysis and communication, and explore the expanding horizons of implementing a whole-of-government approach to efficient data usage.
