Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don’t get the attention they deserve.

At this month's event, the 25th in our series, the speakers presented their work in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.

This month's speakers were:

  • Natalia Domagala, Head of Data Ethics at the Central Digital and Data Office, on algorithmic transparency
  • Henry Duquemin, Real Time Indicators (RTI) Dashboard Lead, Advanced Analytics at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, on the use of real time indicators to monitor the economy
  • Ben Henshall, Head of Analysis in 10 Downing Street, and Mallory Durran, Head of Analysis and Levelling Up in the No.10 Delivery Unit, on dashboards speaking truth to power
  • Michael Birtwistle, Senior Policy Adviser and AI Barometer Lead at the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, on the second iteration of the AI Barometer

The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government.
