The document discusses how big data, social media, systemic models, and governance can be used for predictive governance. It describes how analyzing large amounts of diverse data from various sources can help anticipate crises and their impacts. By monitoring data in real-time from sensors, images, reports, and meetings, predictive models can be generated to simulate potential outcomes and help decision makers plan accordingly. When combined with data governance practices to validate data quality, these tools allow issues to be addressed proactively before they become larger problems.
