… Health … Jobs …

Transparency Better services Public engagement

Jobs Open innovation Operational efficiency

Manage scarcity Risk assessment Manufacturing efficiency

Create Enable Improve

Triple-bottom-line impact

Why is social data important?

Data as culture → ubiquitous data changes human behavior Innovation → shift from products to services → transform services (e.g. MOOC, crowd) → data-driven decision-making → entirely new interactions

“the internet is changing the way we think” [Al Gore]

What is social data?

Population Education Health Law Crime Housing Transportation and travel Media & publications User-generated content Personal data-shadows

Why is environmental data important?

“I got it wrong on climate change – it's far, far worse” [Nicholas Stern] Investment and growth → energy supply, grids and efficiency markets → analytics at-scale to assess risk and insurance Governance and accountability → transparency increases accountability & competition Scarcity → effective resource management → systemic changes in supply-chain management

Maps / geographic Terrain / land-use Weather / climate Water / hydrographic Farming / species Pollution / ecosystems Materials / resource scarcity

What is environmental data?

Why is economic data important?

Stimulate investment → transparent rules-based commercial environments attract investment → make companies (both domestic and international) more competitive Improve governance and accountability → fiscal transparency increases accountability and is self-enforcing → shift to data-intensive, regulation-light environments can stimulate growth Reduce corruption → wide participation and systemic changes affect everyone → create a “race to the top”

“Transparency drives prosperity” [Open Government Partnership]

What is economic data?

Corporate ownership Corporate tax Public sector transactions Peer-to-peer lending Open procurement Market information (e.g. commodities) Asset registers (e.g. stranded assets) Supply-chain transactions Personal spending

What is the global political context?

“a new era in which people can use open data to generate insights, ideas, and services

to create a better world for all” G8 Open Data Charter 2013

“Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government” President Obama

“Data is the new oil of the Internet and the new currency of the digital world” European Consumer Commissioner, Meglena Kuneva

“Open Data is at the heart of my agenda for Government” UK Prime Minister, David Cameron

Many countries, regions and cities are opening data

It’s not just political …

Global, regional, local – a shared vision

Political Politicians, UN, World Bank have shared ambitions Regional Smart-cities are driving efficiency and innovation Business McKinsey, Deloitte are signalling economic growth Innovators Start-ups are creating jobs Social NGO communities are building partnerships Individuals Engaged in improving their services, rebuilding trust

A global landscape for open data impact
