DATA SHARING AND ANALYTICS<br />
In the evolving and growing digital economy, data has become<br />
increasingly valuable to business and to the public sector as each<br />
realises the potential that can be unlocked by data sharing and<br />
data analysis. Data is the foundation of evidence-based policy,<br />
and provides the basis for the development of effective, tailored<br />
community services.<br />
By extracting better intelligence and building a stronger<br />
evidence base, government can make the best use of its<br />
investment in data and direct resources to those programs,<br />
policies and initiatives that will deliver the greatest benefits.<br />
Data Analytics Centre<br />
The NSW Government has established the DAC to support<br />
agencies to design and deliver better services, particularly<br />
where policy issues cross portfolio boundaries.<br />
It will become the central point for access to data and<br />
interoperability standards.<br />
The DAC will:<br />
••<br />
identify problems or challenges facing the<br />
NSW Government in collaboration with agencies<br />
••<br />
collect and analyse cross cluster or whole of government<br />
data to better understand problems, challenges<br />
and opportunities<br />
••<br />
drive better practice in data sharing and analytics.<br />
Working with the research, start-up and data science<br />
communities, the DAC will bring a new focus and insight to<br />
existing policy challenges, while opening up opportunities to<br />
consider new ways of designing better customer services. This<br />
offers benefits to the community and NSW Government not<br />
only in terms of better policy outcomes, but also in reducing<br />
duplication in data collection, storage and management.<br />
