Open data

Open data: driving exponential value

Open data has as many benefits as there are potential uses and users. More so, in fact — it’s a perfect example of the network effect, and how each additional node adds exponentially to the power of the whole.

And it benefits us all.

But it can be daunting.

Where does one start? How does one know what to open? How do we protect our employees, our organisations and also the public? Given finite resources, how do we decide what to prioritise? How can we build strong collaboration and feedback loops so we don’t reinvent wheels?

Thankfully, those questions aren’t unusual. Everyone working in or around open data faces them at some time.

We can help you to:

• design an open data strategy.

• design improved open data capability and capacity in your organisation / sector

• decide on an open data publishing platform best suited to your needs

• build strong user feedback and engagement loops, including user groups.

We can also help you build frameworks and processes for:

• logging your open data requests, triaging and prioritising them

• preparing your data and metadata

• publishing, maintaining and reporting against your open data.
