Editor's Notes
- Thanks to legislation and policies such as the Open Data policy, the TALENT Act, the Evidence-based Policy Commission and many more, we have witnessed an explosion of civic technologists focused on opening up data, developing technology to effectively leverage data, guiding leaders /policy-makers in using data to inform policy decisions at all levels of government, and transforming the way services are delivered to citizens and communities.
- This was my first motivating frustration: that governments and nonprofits seemed ill-equipped to use data in support of their missions. So I set out to change that. Went to the University of Chicago to set up a program that would get more data scientists and technologists working with nonprofit service providers and governments.
- To add another complication, there is a lot of hype around Data Science in the last few years. And that means that you need to manage expectations, both internally and externally. It’s easy to get peopled over-excited, but tricky to deliver, and so that’s not a great spot to be in.
- Data driven policy making, how does nexus of power shifting to states, but without money and resources to do anything. How do we encourage continued efforts and best practices and get others to adopt? 1x to 10x. Alternatives: Lacks infrastructure that leads to the connecting of investment to impact …action to impact …identify, improve, and invest in impact

- Even with the shifting of politics, the ability to drive impact with data remains. Now we entered a new phase in data evolution. A time where the nexus of power and influence is shifting to states and as they continue to do more with fewer resources, the talents of civic-focused data scientists and technologists are needed now more than ever to build out the data infrastructure necessary to ensure citizens receive equitable access to the innovations the data-driven policy-making brings to communities.

- To make impact permanent and ubiquitous, governments and nonprofits needed products with consistent data exchange standards, open source infrastructure, and transparent methods and algorithms.
