ManyEyes is a data visualization tool that aims to make quantitative and qualitative information more understandable for those without expertise in analyzing the data. It allows information like statistics, policies, and online discussions to be visualized in ways that help managers and policymakers identify trends and unmet needs. The document discusses developing ManyEyes by analyzing how other organizations use similar tools, identifying benchmark visualization tools, and getting input from internal stakeholders. Potential uses of ManyEyes within the organization are outlined for different types of staff.

Visible® MaaS Cloud Presentation Authors: Nuccio Piscopo and Michael CesinoMichael Cesino
The general theme of the presentation is to based on the premise that activities and processes which support an Enterprise Architecture go beyond the enterprise; extending outside of the enterprise where change typically occurs across partners, suppliers, customers, regulators and other parties external to the enterprise.
The goal of "Visible®" is to capture change in the extended enterprise across Assets, Capacity, Capital, Customers, Markets, Resources and Risk in a "living" model. Services comprised of "universal mappings" enable companies to map changes to their enterprise business rules, activities, processes and data. As such, Visible® promotes transparency, abstraction and aggregation of change and enables one to see the impact of change on their enterprise business and information architecture.. It is available for internal use only (not for resale or distribution) on a subscription basis. The presentation also introduces the concept of Model as a Service (MaaS) as provided by the Visible® Cloud platform.

Visuals are obviously the best way our mind plots information. We rely upon visual prompts to oversee and process colossal extents of information. Information affirmation saddles the goals of examination and adds a visual show to benefit by how our brains work. Sharp introductions takes after with over-inconvenience inspiration driving control, and geospatial information examination are a few events of the varying ways to deal with oversee manage work with information. Information confirmation programming can be to a mind blowing degree phenomenal and bewildering, for instance, Deloitte's HIVE arrange. At the other continuum are contraptions with essential, point-and-snap interfaces that don't require a particular coding learning or major masterminding. Most non-information pro all around influenced instruments to have instinctual parts and can pull information from Google Docs, Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, and irrefutable sources that most directors work with starting at now.
In the key piece of this zone, the contemplation is on the advances that fall into the information examination class. Later pieces look at information change and information blend. Vendor packages everything thought about offer instruments more than one class. All around, uncovering contraptions demonstrate what has starting late happened in a business. Investigative instruments indicate what may or could happen later on. Events of perceptions are dials, diagrams, and plots, courses of occasions, geospatial maps and warmth maps. The tricolor warmth outlines cautions the watcher to manager zones most requiring thought. Visual introductions make it less requesting that individuals understand information and see takes after that offer reactions to business questions like "Which thing duties have the most lifted and scarcest net livelihoods in each area?"

Barry Fong, Principal Social Policy Analyst at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will take us through the Survey of Londoners 2021-22. Conducted at the end of 2021, so just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in, it was commissioned to provide vital evidence on key social outcomes for Londoners, following the onset of COVID-19 and associated restrictions.
A similar survey was conducted in 2018-19, so this survey would show how things had changed in the capital since then.
Barry will go through some of the key findings from the survey before handing over to Michael Cheetham and Ellen Bloomer from the North East London Integrated Care Board, who collaborated with local authority partners to fund a sample boost for the survey within North East London. They will explain how they used the data, including the analyses, the results and how this impacted strategy and practice.

How can humanities research contribute to policy 2Noel Hatch
There is always a danger that the humanities are overlooked in favour of the social sciences or ‘hard’ sciences in research-policy engagement, when the former have an important role to play.
The session will provide case studies and a facilitated discussion to better understand the potential implications and challenges for policymakers of engaging with humanities researchers.
The London Strategy and Policy Network and the London Research and Policy Partnership invite you to join a session to explore the contributions that humanities research can make to policy by bringing together humanities researchers and policymakers from across the capital and beyond.
Welcome and introduction (1:00 – 1:10pm)
Chaired by:
Professor Ben Rogers, Professor of Practice, University of London & Bloomberg Fellow to LSE Cities
Overview: How can humanists and policymakers work together? Benefits and opportunities of humanities research and policy engagement (1:10 – 1:20pm)
Presented by:
Jo Fox, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research & Engagement) & Dean, School of Advanced Study, University of London.
Case study 1: Lessons from ‘The Pandemic and Beyond: the Arts and Humanities Contribution to Covid Research and Recovery (1:20 – 1:30pm)
Presented by:
Pascale Aebischer, Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Performance Studies, University of Exeter and PI of The Pandemic and Beyond: the Arts and Humanities Contribution to Covid Research and Recovery, University of Exeter.

ABOUT LRaPP:
London Research and Policy Partnership (LRaPP) is a new partnership aimed at promoting greater synergy between London government and the academic research community.
The Partnership is evolving among movements bringing universities and local communities, cities and regions closer together - the ‘civic universities agenda’. It encourages universities to use their expertise and organisational resources to address pressing public policy challenges.
There are many examples of London's academics and public sector working together. Yet, most of these relationships develop in an ad hoc way. LRaPP takes a systematic approach through proactive and sustained engagement between the university and government sectors.
London Strategy and Policy Network
This network brings together people working in policy & strategy working in local government across London to learn new insights on cross-cutting issues and new methods in how to develop insight, policy, strategy & change.
This helps them support their organisations make sense of how to tackle issues which cut across various services and that require a whole system approach across local places to tackle.

1. ManyEyes
What is it?
Web 3 brings together the tools that make technologies work better for the people that use
them. As a tool which puts this into practice, ManyEyes brings together visualization tools
that make the analysis of information easier to understand and enable staff to make the best
use of such analysis to inform decisions on how they improve their services.
Why are we researching this?
ManyEyes can help tackle the information overload – making quantitative (such as statistics)
and qualitative information (like policies, evaluations or even online conversations) more
meaningful to those people who haven’t necessarily created the knowledge in the first place.
For example, a statistician may have created datasets on a customer group but it’s the
service manager that is best placed to make use of them to personalise the service. A web
developer may have set up a tool that enables the public to comment on a particular issue,
but it is the policy officer that needs to use that feedback when formulating policies.
ManyEyes can also help us open up our expertise from staff to the public – a priority in the
“Future Challenges” agenda - so they can make better decisions on areas that affect them.
For example, GapMinder and the New York Times Visualization Lab have been very
effective in enabling people to manipulate information such as longitudinal statistics to
measure the impact of a policy over time and place, government spending or crime rates.
In other words, it can allow policy makers and resource managers to pick up on new trends
and unmet needs by visualising different types of information, while allowing the public to
become more informed citizens.
ManyEyes Wikified can enable staff to collaborate in providing the necessary context to
these visualisations.
How can you develop this?
2. • Analyse how organisations have used ManyEyes and other visualisation techniques to
enable their staff to make the best use of such analysis to inform decisions on how they
improve their services
• Identify other visualisation tools so as to define appropriate benchmarks by which to
evaluate ManyEyes, such as Swivel and GapMinder
• Bring together internal stakeholders who have been identified as potential beneficiaries
(see below) to provide mock data, text and other information for the beta program
• Participate in stakeholder interview and beta program with IBM
• Feed into wider review of Knowledge Management and Semantic Web
What resources do we need?

It can be used to visualize information in a variety of ways and as such there are different
types of staff that would benefit from individual uses of ManyEyes (see table below).

What does the analysis show us?
ManyEyes is an online based data visualization tool, using Java applet technology (which
can be downloaded here and needs to be Java 1.4 or above). It is recommended to run on
either Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 1.0.6 – naturally it’s preferable if more updated versions
are used. IBM has advised that it may not be bug-free as it is still a proof of concept.
The colour palettes have been chosen to make sure that people who are colour blind can
visualize the data, while the data is set out in a text format that can be used by
screenreaders.
Similar applications currently used within the Council, such as Xcelsius – used by Personnel
Information Systems, Employee Services, KASS Finance and Business Performance
Monitoring, require a high level of expertise and experience of both Xcelsius and Excel.
