GOVERNMENT BIG DATA: LEVERAGING DATA Government departments and agencies continue to accumulate a wealth of data. At a time when governments are being asked to do more with less while providing new services to citizens, forward- thinking big data strategy can be used to transform this vast amount of data into a deeper understanding of citizens’ as well as cost-effec- tive ways to meet those needs. This session will look at best prac- tices for leveraging data in government. • Developing a big data strategy: recognizing & utilizing data as a strategic asset • Integrating and sharing data for analysis • Leveraging data to improve services, cut costs and increase transparency • Analysis and visualization that leverages real-time data correlation • Investing in data enrichment, integration & management • Governance frameworks to ensure high quality data sets • Overcoming barriers to data sharing • Data analytics to improve existing processes and operations • Changes needed to effectively pull together big data • Role of open data in unlocking the potential of big data MAXIMIZING EFFECTIVE DATA SHARING ACROSS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES This session will explore strategies and practices for the effective shar- ing of data across government departments and agencies, including personal information about citizens, employees and other stakeholder groups. Specific questions to be addressed are as follows: • Why share data across organizational boundaries – what makes this compelling? • What are the challenges to data sharing and what strategies, practices and methods can be employed for overcoming barriers to data sharing? • What are the minimum requirements of an effective data sharing operational model that is practical, implementable and sustainable? • How do you manage the cultural change needed within organizations for effective data sharing: avoiding information silos while addressing security and privacy regulations? • What are readily implementable solutions and technologies that can help to address barriers to information sharing?

WORKSHOP INCORPORATING BIG DATA INTO OVERALL DATA STRATEGY To maximize its potential within government, big data must be looked at as part of a broader organizational data strategy that takes into consideration issues such as data governance, access, manage- ment, integration, retention, security & quality. This session will explore best practices for developing an organization data strategy that incorporates big data. • Establishing an all-encompassing data strategy • Key components of data strategy for both a big data project as well as an organizations overall data strategy • Developing and deploying an enterprise data strategy • Incorporating practices to sustain the program • Ensuring the high quality of strategically important data: data mining processes • Foundational strategies for delivering high quality data • Enterprise data integration to coordinate all the data managed within organization BIG DATA AND CYBERSECURITY This session will examine effective measures that can be taken for protecting your organizations critical information and achieving com- pliance with data security requirements in this era of big data. • Addressing data security, privacy, compliance and ethics considerations: ensuring your organization has an accountability framework • Key principles of information security • Ensuring administrative, physical and technological controls • Compliance requirements and managing risk with data breach detection • Ensuring that sharing of personal information complies with applicable laws • Effectively preserving and archiving electronic documents • Data protection challenges and risks: mobile devices and cloud computing INFORMATION GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES FOR BIG DATA A comprehensive approach to information governance that ad- dresses issues associated with the collection, analysis, and storage of sensitive, multi-jurisdiction data is required to fully realize the value benefits of big data initiatives. This session will examine how to develop a comprehensive approach to information governance for big data. • Establishing and implementing data governance policies for big data: IG framework • Effective strategies for dealing with information governance in big data context • Developing and processing standardized and interoperable data • Creating policies and practices for enabling discovery, access and sharing of data • Managing information quality and standards • Sharing data while maintaining privacy compliance and security LATEST DATA VISUALIZATION TOOLS FOR GOVERNMENT In government (and virtually all organizations), most charts and dash- boards are poorly designed. They require unnecessarily high amounts of effort for audiences to interpret, fail to communicate key insights and relationships in the data, or -worse- sometimes misrepresent the underlying data. While those who create charts and dashboards may have strong technical skills, they often have little knowledge of how the brain interprets visual information, and have had little or no training in how to represent information visually in simple, effective and accurate ways. This session will discuss: • Examples of common data visualization mistakes, with solutions. • Impacts of poorly-designed data visualizations. • Links to additional training resources BIG DATA FOR PREVENTING THREATS & CRIMES Advanced, real-time analytics that transform data into insightful infor- mation can be used by government to predict and prevent increasingly complex forms of crimes & threats. This session will look at the latest approaches to combat crimes and threats using big data. • Big data analytics to anticipate and preempt emerging threats • Data strategies and analytics to predict and prevent threats & crimes • Leveraging & sharing vital information across government departments and organizations • Challenges to threat and crime prediction and prevention • Need for high-volume management of numerous data types • Maintaining the currency of information • Use of real-time social media, sensor, video, audio and gepspatial data for the purposes of threat DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS: MANAGING INFORMATION FOR BIG DATA ANALYTICS Governments amass enormous amounts of data, the challenge is how to derive meaningful insight from it in order to inform improved decision making. This session will examine the techniques, methods and tools that government has at their disposal to leverage its data in order to make decisions that drive positive, valuable outcomes. • Building capability for big data analysis and the use of analytics tools • Assessing situations and options based on analytics • Latest tools to sort through, analyze and draw insights from government data • Visualization & animation of big data to inform strategic decision-making • Leveraging latest technology and tools available to government organizations • Integrating analytical capability into organization decision-making culture and processes • Evaluating the effectiveness of data-driven decisions • Data sharing practices to enhance data driven decisions COURSE PROGRAM
