Thinking is more important than knowing!

2. Thinking, Knowing, Looking
Insight at a glance
“Thinking is more interesting than
knowing, but less interesting than
looking”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“A compass, I learned when I was surveying, ...it'll
point you True North from where you're standing,
but it's got no advice about the swamps and
deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the
way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge
ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing
more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of
knowing True North?”
- Abraham Lincoln

5. 2014 All systems in place
to support research.
A ‘basecamp’ of policy,
education and resources has
been achieved.
All processes improved
through access to ‘modern’
information systems and a
change in culture

Reference Data Service – Core system for
providing all ‘meta data’ and reference data to
our systems and other systems
Local Portfolio Management System (SoC)
Facilitate collaboration, create a fan base
of the systems and make the most of the
connected data.
Turn data into information that enables
insight and facilitates more questions.

9. If data is used it is ‘controlled’…
Aboriginal ‘land law’ states that
if a person takes care of land,
needs it to sustain family, and
makes better use of it than the
next person then they control
the land.
If we make good use of the
data we have we will be seen
to control it, own it and make
use of it to deliver better care,
outcomes & research.

Delivery of Business
Intelligence as a product
that has fans rather than
customers.
Culture change through
demand of the fan not
through command and
control.
