Now they are referred to as the new “rock stars” of the business world. \n What about this profession here in Canberra? \n Analytics in the public sector is now identified by many Departments amongst their key initiatives in the short to mid term. In the US, President Obama’s 2016 Budget contains several initiatives designed to increase access to data and improve the Government’s evidence based decision making. Closer to home, the Department of PM and C have appointed a Deputy Secretary responsible for data policy, and the Commonwealth has appointed a committee of about twenty data champions. \n Governments around Australia have built considerable data assets about their clients. Many are now very focused on using that data to encourage better service levels and much more ‘evidence based’ decision making. Technology continues to provide some of the answers with better analytical solutions, but what about the analysts themselves who are required to ask the questions, explore the possibilities, provide advice, do the numbers, write the recommendations etc etc? There are hundreds of new opportunities for this new generation of “numbers people”. \n Come join us, and many members of Commonwealth Government “Data Champions” to learn more about this new opportunity for many of us in Canberra on December 15th at the Federal Golf Club at 12 noon.\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ text_font=”manrope||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”24px” header_3_font=”Poppins Semi||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#c41917″ header_3_font_size=”26px” header_3_line_height=”32px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]\nPanellists\nRegistrations have closed\n\nBarry Sandison – Deputy Secretary Health & Information, Department of Human Services\n\nAs Deputy Secretary of Health and Information, Barry Sandison is responsible for providing leadership and management of health related programmes administered on behalf of the Department of Health and other agencies.
