Data Strategy Action: Building Actionable PlansAileen Murray
A presentation to the Economic Developers Association of Canada 2019 Annual Conference.
Data mining and meticulous review isn’t for everyone, but when the right person is on the job and the data is brought to the surface, this careful research provides an invaluable opportunity. With the right collection of data, a creative and customized strategy can be built. Building strategy based on data is greater than building strategy based on assumption. The Town of Saugeen Shores, a community with a population of 14,000, on the shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, the Economic Development Strategic Plan provides recommendations and actions toward short and long term goals.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

When they came to the crowd, a man
approached Jesus and knelt before him. “Lord,
have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has
seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into
the fire or into the water. I brought him to your
disciples, but they could not heal him.”
“You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus
replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long
shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to
me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out
of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and
asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I
tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard
seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be
impossible for you.” (Mathew 17:14-20)
