Innovative CDAO Strategies to Optimise Data Governance, Data-Driven Policymaking and Public Service Delivery
Our research with Government CDAOs and data and analytics leaders highlights a crucial governance priority: leveraging data and AI is not merely a technological necessity but a strategic imperative for informed policymaking and enhanced public service delivery. These leaders are at the forefront of this evolution, balancing the optimisation of data-driven decisions with the need to maintain data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance. They grapple with a multitude of challenges, from integrating advanced analytics and managing evolving data landscapes and complexities, to preparing for the inevitability of data breaches – all with the aim of safeguarding national and citizen interests.
The DataGov Leaders Summit is the annual event for Aotearoa New Zealand's public sector data and analytics leaders and vendors to address these challenges in the next 12 months.
The 2024 Summit will focus on how Government CDAOs, data and analytics leaders drive data-driven policymaking and decision making, implement advanced analytics, and ensure data security, integrity and compliance for enhanced public service delivery, reflecting the critical challenges and opportunities in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
