The Role of Federal Evaluation Activities in the “Evidence-Based” Policy and ...Nick Hart, Ph.D.
In early 2019, a new federal law called the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Evidence Act) established new expectations for how federal agencies support and engage in evaluation activities. As part of the broader evidence movement, the new law recognizes relationships across traditional disciplinary silos and outlines and expectation that federal agencies will better collaborate to produce and use evaluations to inform key decisions. This webinar will describe the contemporaneous policy environment for federal evaluation, offer insights about the role in the broader evidence movement, and discuss opportunities for interacting with emerging data strategies and planning processes that affect evaluators. Participants will gain an appreciation for the nuances of federal evaluation policy activities, develop an understanding of how the activities relate to other data policy reforms, and be introduced to opportunities for ongoing participation from the evaluation community.

Getting Data Quality Right
High quality data is important for organizational success, but achieving good data quality requires a programmatic approach. Data quality challenges are often the root cause of IT and business failures. To improve, organizations need to take a systems thinking approach, understand data issues over time, and not underestimate the role of culture. Developing repeatable data quality capabilities and expertise can help organizations identify problems, determine causes, and prevent future issues. Effective data quality engineering provides a framework for utilizing data to support business strategy and goals.
This presentation explores the goals of today's data-driven organizations, the challenges imposed by external macro forces, and the imperative for data integrity to enable innovation and drive business success. Learn about the key insights and findings from the latest global survey of over 400 global data professionals, the 2023 Data Integrity Trends and Insights report.
Data Governance Strategies - With Great Power Comes Great AccountabilityDATAVERSITY
Much like project team management and home improvement, data governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, data governance is the process by which an organization delegates responsibility and exercises control over mission-critical data assets. In practice, though, data governance directs how all other data management functions are performed, meaning that much of your data management strategy’s capacity to function at all depends on your effectiveness in governing its implementation. Understanding these aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds effective data management and stewardship programs, since the goal of governance is to manage the data that supports organizational strategy.
This webinar will:
-Illustrate what data governance functions are required for effective data management, how they fit with other data management disciplines, and why data governance can be tricky for many organizations
-Help you develop a detailed vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your business objectives and imperatives that demand governance
-Provide direction for selling data governance to organizational management as a specifically motivated initiative
Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort. Getting your Data Strategy right can provide significant value, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace – from digital transformation, to marketing, to customer centricity, to population health, and more. This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
The recent focus on Big Data in the data management community brings with it a paradigm shift—from the more traditional top-down, “design then build” approach to data warehousing and business intelligence, to the more bottom up, “discover and analyze” approach to analytics with Big Data. Where does data modeling fit in this new world of Big Data? Does it go away, or can it evolve to meet the emerging needs of these exciting new technologies? Join this webinar to discuss:
Big Data –A Technical & Cultural Paradigm Shift
Big Data in the Larger Information Management Landscape
Modeling & Technology Considerations
Organizational Considerations
The Role of the Data Architect in the World of Big Data
DataEd Slides: Data Management Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This approach combines the DM BoK and the CMMI/DMM, permitting organizations with the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. The approach permits organizations to understand current Data Management practices, strengths to leverage, and remediation opportunities. In a nutshell, it describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use.
Data Governance and Data Science to Improve Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Science uses systematic methods, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Data Science requires high-quality data that is trusted by the organization and data scientists. Many organizations focus their Data Governance programs on improving Data Quality results. These three concepts (governance, science, and quality) seem to be made for each other.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner and his special guest will discuss how the people focusing on Data Governance and Data Science must work together to improve the level of confidence the organization has in its most critical data assets. Heavy investments are being made in Data Science but not so much for Data Governance. Bob will talk about how Data Governance and Data Science must work together to improve Data Quality.
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program
This document discusses how data and analytics can create or destroy shareholder value for companies through decision making. It finds that while most executives recognize the importance of data-driven decisions, only a third of organizations are highly data-driven. Highly data-driven companies are 3 times more likely to improve decision making. The technologies for advanced analytics like machine learning, IoT/sensors, simulation, and visualization are advancing rapidly but organizations must focus on developing the right operating model and skills to realize benefits. The operating model chosen can determine whether shareholder value is created or destroyed through analytics.
DataEd Webinar: Implementing Successful Data Strategies - Developing Organiza...DATAVERSITY
The document discusses developing an effective data strategy. It begins by introducing Micheline Casey and Peter Aiken, experts in data strategy. It then discusses what a data strategy is, why it is important to have one, and key characteristics of an effective data strategy. The document outlines the process for developing a data strategy, including pre-planning, aligning with organizational goals, prioritizing initiatives, and performing assessments. It emphasizes the importance of implementing foundational data practices before advanced practices. The presentation concludes with discussing challenges to developing a data strategy and taking a question.
This document discusses big data visualizations and best practices. It begins by defining big data and how visualizations can provide insights from large and complex datasets. Examples are provided of effective visualizations that combine multiple measures, show movement and patterns geospatially and over time, and utilize interactive screens.

Data-Ed Webinar: The Seven Deadly Data Sins - Emerging from Management PurgatoryDATAVERSITY
While wrath and envy are best left for human resources to address, overcoming the numerous obstacles that often inhibit successful data management must be a full organizational effort. The difficulty of implementing a new data strategy often goes underappreciated, particularly the multi-faceted nature of the challenges that need to be met. Deficiencies in organizational readiness and core competence represent clearly visible problems faced by data managers, but beyond that there are several cultural and structural barriers common to virtually all organizations that must be eliminated in order to facilitate effective management of data.
In this webinar, we will discuss these barriers—the titular “Seven Deadly Data Sins”, and in the process will also:
Elaborate upon the three critical factors that lead to strategy failure
Demonstrate a two-stage data strategy implementation process
Explore the sources and rationales behind the “Seven Deadly Data Sins”, and recommend solutions and alternative approaches

This document provides an overview of Statistics Canada data resources that can be used to understand communities, including a municipal data portal, proximity measures data viewer, and 2021 Census of Population. It summarizes census geography levels and tools, and provides examples of population counts and age distribution data for areas in and around Regina, Saskatchewan from the 2021 and previous censuses.
The talk discusses and demonstrate techniques for analyzing survey data. Survey data is useful data source to answer a wide range of questions, however, it often requires special analytical techniques to interpret. We'll discuss how to weight data to match known population parameters (such as StatsCan census data) using post-stratification and using the MICE algorithm to deal with missing data. These techniques are commonly used in political polling and social science research. I'll provide example code in R and explain all the steps using data from a survey of Canadians' values.
All companies want to use machine learning, but face many roadblocks to getting there. It can be hard for an organization to get the skills, technology and computing power necessary to build a working machine learning model, and deploy it as a pipeline.

ISM Environment Insights w/ Advanced Analytics - Data For GoodData For Good Regina
Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association
The project proponent Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) sought (1) to quantify the hydrologic effect of natural forage land use within the Assiniboine River Basin, and (2) to recommend land and water management practices that address various hydrologic issues present in the basin. Through ISM’s web-based delivery platform, highly technical hydrologic simulation results (provided by project partner Aquanty) are presented in a summarized and consumable format, intended for use by high level decision makers.
South Nation Conservation
South Nation Conservation (SNC) is a conservation authority responsible for watershed management outside of Ottawa, ON. In addition to having a need for a hydrologic understanding of their geography, SNC had a need for a full hydrologic forecasting platform to drive their business decisions. Daily ingestion of weather forecasts formed the foundational piece of this platform, giving SNC a continually updated prediction of potential hydrologic issues. ISM, Aquanty, and IBM’s The Weather Company partnered in this pioneering solution.
California Utility Company
ISM and IBM’s The Weather Company partnered to provide a predictive asset maintenance platform for a southern California energy utility. The client required real-time weather forecast models to be ingested, and fuel the prediction of “fire weather”, or places where wild fires are likely to occur. This allowed the client to identify which of their assets (power lines, sub stations, etc) may be at risk, and enables them to take proactive and preventive.
Robyn Edwards-Bentz walks through the way that the United Way in Regina helps young people keep up their literacy skills in their younger years to combat future educational issues.
ISM speaks about data maturity, the work they have done in Saskatchewan around analyzing the data behind human services, and how some of the biggest tech companies traffic data, not goods and services.

Objectives and Key Results (OKR’s)
Objectives
An Objective is simply what is to be achieved, no more and no less. By definition, Objectives are
significant, concrete, action-oriented, and (ideally) inspirational. When properly designed and deployed,
they’re a vaccine against fuzzy thinking and ineffective execution.
Key Results
Key Results benchmark and monitor how we get to the Objective. Effective KRs are specific and
time-bound and aggressive yet realistic. Most of all, they are measurable and verifiable. You
either meet a key result’s requirements or you don’t; there is no gray area, no room for doubt. At
the end of the designated period, typically a quarter, we do a regular check and grade the key
results as fulfilled or not.
