The University of Brighton, always possible and special guests have an informal debate on the value of data for organisations in a global emergency.
As every sector and every business is tackling change and adaptation head on – there is more data to draw upon, to play with, to extract from. But there is not a technological, economic or political level playing-field in the UK.
Post Brexit, post Covid, post austerity renewal will be built on data – but whose, how and where from?
- Are businesses paying more attention to the data they collect as the key to recovery?
- What data is proving useful to businesses in recovery planning- both the data they own and generate and external sources of data?
- How will smarter use of data insights transform certain sectors?
- Which sectors are making most effective use of data – and which aren’t?
- What more could they do?
- What resources (knowledge/ equipment/ training / support) might help sectors understand how data can work for them?
Guest speakers:
- Richard Freeman (chair) – always possible
- Lowena Hull – freelance programmer / Southend Tech
- Ben Sauer – Redbeard / 3dCrowd
- Adam Sheldon – Big Egg Films
