Open Data

"It's about cutting waste; it's about driving improvement and accountability in public services; and it's about boosting the economy by enabling entrepreneurs to use public data to create new applications. "Above all, it is about a shift of power from the state and a fundamental trust in the ability of people to work together to transform our society.”

the big 3 for government leaders !

1. lay the foundations:" digital inclusion, open data, IT infrastructure, technology, new rules for procurement!

2. foster culture change:" inside and outside of government, ‘be the web’, leadership, role modelling !

3. catalyse and nurture innovation: ! competitions, changing models of procurement, support social innovators, welcome the outside in
