Overview

April 26

When government marries data with decision-making, amazing things can happen. Agencies can deliver critical services to constituents better, faster and more efficiently. First responders can reach people more quickly in an emergency. Leaders can respond to quickly changing situations in real time.

Constituents’ needs and expectations have evolved, requiring a more nimble approach. In Part 1 of our conversation with former Utah CIO Mike Hussey, we explored the challenges of securing and optimizing data in this new environment.

On April 26, join us for Part 2, when we’ll talk with Hussey about how government agencies can use their data to extract valuable insights on a range of issues. This 30-minute webcast will explore:

How to make data more transparent and accessible to the public
How to operationalize data analytics to turn information into better-informed decision-making
How emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence can help gain insights on decades of agency data
