To make the right decisions and shape government in today’s world, policy (and operations) specialists need to be fully skilled up and knowledgeable to engage with the new opportunities around data and analysis.
We live in a more ‘digital’ world and the complexity of government intervention grows daily driven by the pace of change at home and abroad, which is in turn driven by the speed and scale of information exchange and technological development.
For policy officials to keep government ahead, they must be ready to harness that change too, engaging with the digital world.
To feed decision making policy professionals can make use of cutting-edge technology and knowledge to exploit the immense amounts of ‘big data’ that are generated by the ever increasing digitalisation of the world. The course will cover how to better harness ‘old-fashioned’ data in innovative ways with new technology.
