It’s time to demonstrate greater value to the public sector’s ever-watchful constituents.  Read the executive summary here or Download the full report here.

 

A "visual" discussion on Business Analytics:

 

Analytics - The New Path to Value: 

MIT Sloan Management Review collaborated with the IBM Institute for Business Value in conducting a global survey of nearly 3,000 executive managers and analysts. Then combined the survey analysis with interviews with academic and subject matter experts - this study offers recommendations on how organizations can bolster their analytics capabilities to achieve long-term advantage.

Today there is a large challenge in government called the "data paradox".  Simply put, having too much data and not enough insight.  There is a change happening today to become more "open".  This is a move from being only transparent with data to more of a sharing of data both internal and external to an agency.  The link below is to an interesting article about this paradigm shift.

If I didn't love my job so much, I'd love to do this - big data, analytics, social science - my favs

Don’t Just Read Freakonomics. DO Freakonomics!

If you want to learn how to truly master big data; formulate and test hypotheses rigorously; design and execute experiments that actually tell you something; immerse yourself in the world’s best thinking on economics, statistics, sociology, behavioral psychology; and be taught by and work with many of the people who are actually doing the world’s best thinking in these areas, then start pulling your application together.
