Lunchtime Lecture: How local services are being transformed with open data

Location: Open Innovations - 3rd Floor - Munro House - Duke Street - LS9 8AG Leeds

Date: -

When data is used effectively it can affect how we pay our tax, draw pensions and get our bins collected. New service delivery models - an Open Data Institute (ODI) project - was started in 2017 to increase the understanding of data-enabled service delivery models in local government, and to improve services encourage publishing more open data to improve public services. As part of the project, we awarded funding to four forward-thinking local government organisations to develop open data projects which explore how data could be used to improve public services - making them more efficient, innovative and citizen-focused. Since the beginning of the project, four local councils have redesigned services for their local communities by using open data The project is part of the ODI's £6M three-year innovation programme, which has an overall aim to build data infrastructure, improve data literacy, stimulate data innovation and build trust in the use of data. In this talk ODI Consultant Izy Champion will talk you through the research, give examples of the innovative services created through the innovative use of data, and talk about opportunities to get involved with our project for 2018-19 looking at Service design learning materials Watch the Lunchtime Lecture (streamed from London) in our comfy space http://attending.io/events/lunchtime-lecture-how-local-services-are-being-transformed-with-open-data
