Industry Track – Public Sector

Hear how some leading government organisations from around the world are already transforming themselves to “do more with less” by working smarter.

All public organisations have to improve data quality simply to meet mandated compliance and reporting obligations. Many are making a virtue of this necessity by using business intelligence (BI) to convert the cleansed data into better hindsight to meet the need for improved efficiency. However, the leading government bodies are also adopting advanced analytics to develop the predictive foresight necessary for making the evolutionary leap from “fail and fix” to “predict and prevent.”

Learning objectives

  • Explore how BI and analytics can be used to tackle most of the key challenges that governments face, including improving safety and security, reducing fraud and risk, increasing revenues and compliance, increasing education and social justice, improving healthcare, tackling climate change, etc.
  • Learn from others how to accelerate your own progress along the Information Management Evolution journey to achieve transformations in performance and outcomes in all areas of the public sector.

  • Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia
