Open Data

Open Data Ecosystem

Open Data results from opening up and sharing of non-sensitive information in machine-readable format with businesses and the general public

Business of any size
Open Data Business
Open Data-Driven Business

Data underpins businesses and the economy, and thus key in providing new insights into consumer needs and enabling new products and services to be developed
Therefore, we witness a growing number of Open Data SMEs/businesses seeking to tap into the shared resources and to uniquely position themselves through specialization in the landscape to create and capture value for their stakeholders
To creating and capturing value, Open Data business managers are required to employ emerging set of capabilities to catalyze positive change in the business
These capabilities enable a business to achieve specific purpose or output
Open Data for Business

Open Data and Business Capability

Creating Value

There are no scholarly studies available that
•gather Open Data capabilities,
•map capabilities to Open Data value chain
•and provide sophisticated tool for businesses to describe, design, challenge, invent and pivot Open Data business capabilities
Moreover…
Understanding, using, and representing a set of Open Data capabilities for Open Data businesses is challenging for many management teams
Problem

Addressing the Problems
We address these problems by
•Providing Open Data businesses with an Open Data Capability Matrix as a tool to specify and develop Open Data capabilities for (virtual) organization needs
1.General Capability and Capability types
2.Open Government Data Value Chain (PSI)
3.Identifying Open Data Value Capability Areas and Capabilities associated with each type
4.Aligning Open Data Capability Areas to PSI Value Chain
5.Deconstruction of Open Data Capabilities (Open Data Capability Matrix)

Addressing the Problem 1
5.Deconstruction of Open Data Capabilities (Construct Open Data Capability Matrix)

General Business Capability
Value Capabilities: Set of capabilities required for creating/adding value to the product or offering.
•Competences: Complexity of the context within which an individual can operate.
•Business Process: Collection of related and structure activities that produce specific service
•Organization: The way people and systems work together in an organization
• IT Infrastructure: Technological foundation of Computer, Communications and Data. This includes hardware, software, telecommunication, sensors and etc.
•Technological: Knowledge embedded in a product or process on doing practical things
•Management: Process of controlling things and people

Open Government Data Value Chain

Open Data Value Capability Areas
1.Data Generation
2.Data Processing
3.Data Storage and Computing Facilities
4.Data Retrieval
5.Data Release
6.Publishing Solution
7.Providing Access to Data and APIs
8.Data Usage

Open Data Capability Matrix

Capability Matrix
The deconstruction of Open Data capabilities is a matrix of strategic management and value chain analysis for Open Data businesses
It captures all capabilities an Open Data business require – from generating data to final use and re-use of data - for creating and capturing value from OD
It is a strategic tool for Open Data businesses of any size to exercise and exploit for their business
It allows Open Data business managers to identify what capabilities are valuable and necessary to the business they are running
Open Data capabilities need to be specified based on business model. Different business may have different matrix however they can share competencies and resources

Conclusion
•Data is a rich resource that we need to foster a deep understanding of data in society
Every 14 minutes, somewhere in the world, someone talks about Data
Data is the new Oil (Jer Thorp 2012: Harward Business Review)
•Data is created in vast quantities, every day. Many products and services are built
•Capability matrix is a tool to support design of Open Data business capabilities
•Capability Matrix can result emergence of Open Data business models
•Capability Matrix can assist Open Data business managers to understand and describe how capabilities should be utilize and extended throughout the Open Data value chain
•Each business may focus on building different products and services -> each business requires set of capabilities necessary to build the product and service

•Capability Matrix benefits collaborative data sharing network (data-centric collaboration) which is emerged to share large and diverse data with businesses and general public – Open Data Capability Matrix is data resource for other businesses to build capabilities
•Open Data collaborative business network can benefit from the Capability Matrix by sharing capabilities
•Sharing capabilities result emergence of new Open Data businesses and new products and services
•Emergence of new Open Data business will result in building new capabilities that can be shared in the network
Conclusion

•Case study is performed with number of Open Data Businesses in IRELAND
•We received many very positive feedback from cases
•We developed the Matrix based on feedback we received
•Future Research:
We will develop Open Data Capability Matrix targeting at Competitive and Innovative/Dynamic Capabilities
Ongoing and Further Research

Sample Use Case
xPRESO Co.:
Xpreso is an open data business which is a start up company based in Dublin, Ireland with a focus on communication platform which connects courier drivers with parcel recipients in real-time.
