Overview

Off the Shelf (OTS)

Data has become a part of the fabric of everyday living for organisations and citizens. It is not just an input; a material that others can use; a way of communicating; or part of our infrastructure. In reality, it’s all of the above.

This workshop explores the multi-faceted nature of data – considering the value of data, the benefits of data sharing and how to unlock its value. It also looks at how data can be collected, shared and used in an ethical fashion, creating a culture of responsible data stewardship and building trust.
