The document outlines an agenda for a meeting on open government data and information between Hawke's Bay regional and territorial authorities. It discusses New Zealand's open data policies and principles, resources available to support open data, examples of how open data has been used, and data that users want made available, such as property valuations, river flows, and council contracting information. The goal is to encourage government agencies to proactively release non-personal data and embrace open data practices.

12. Being a Data Champion…

13. Why did we ask for a Data
Champion?
 A point of contact
 Someone for the Programme to build a
relationship with
 Someone to support and work with to
address challenges
 Someone to make connections to other
organisations through

14. Attributes sought in a Data
Champion
 Executive manager
 Persuasive with peers
 Involved in the organisation’s strategic
planning
 Understands their customers

15. Expectations of a Data Champion
 Champion the culture change within their
agency
 Embed Open data and information into the
corporate strategy and vision
 Influence the development of policies,
procedures and processes that will lead to
open data released as part of business as
usual

What else???

18. Open by design, open by
default…

19. Open by Design
 Embed open data output as a requirement
of all new systems
 Incorporate open data output into
processes/publishing
 Require quality data as part of any new
contracts for services – that can be released
as open data

20. Open by Design
Open by design = closed by design
(Different mind sets,
but really just 2 sides
of the same coin)
