Got a tricky data question you’re struggling to find the answer to? Tune in as James and other speakers from our data webinar series answer questions to your top data questions.


More so than ever before, data is being used within the services and support we offer communities. As you’d expect, this data can be highly sensitive with guardrails put in place often making it difficult to share or collaborate with other departments.

So how do we enable inter-departmental collaboration that helps create the best impact on society?

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the ways the creation and use of synthetic data can be used by government departments. We’ll focus on the rapid development of advanced analytics and how this type of data can support collaboration.


There’s a lot of public-sector knowledge about data locked away inside different organisations. And much like data itself, we want to open it up. 

This webinar is part of The Pipeline, a collection of talks by our data community breaking down data concepts, exploring data challenges and sharing the lessons we’ve learned from our years in the public sector.
