Not just numbers: Tools and frameworks for getting the most from your data

Stephanie Hawkins – Director of Evaluation, Government of Yukon

The quantity, speed, and sophistication of available data – and the tools available to analyze it – have expanded at a remarkable pace. Data literacy, digital readiness, and artificial intelligence and machine learning have become common topics of interest and discussion.  A primary use of data and data analytic tools, however, remains their ability to help in answering one or more of the following questions: 

• What’s happening now?  
• Does this “work”? 
• How can something be made better or optimized? 

Regardless of where you are on your data journey, this session will set out questions and resources to help you take the next step.
