This session previews a few tech tools that are proving useful in tracking, visualizing and interpreting multifaceted environmental and social data in novel ways. Whether you'd like to translate the complex effects of climate change into elegant visual narratives, or understand where critical supply chain risks may be likely to pop up, or track endangered species in real time – this panel will open your eyes to innovative ways of gathering intelligence from previously-unavailable or previously-unusable data.

16. Paper vs. Digital

17. 20-60 pages for a detailed
assessment
30-50% of questions not necessary
Paper is difficult to manage and track

18. Paper surveys
1. Are the standard,
especially in hard to
reach areas
2. Simple to formulate
and conceptualize,
but they have
significant
downsides:
• Limit the way you ask
questions
• Demand extra work on
data entry
• Make the assessment
process more
cumbersome and

43. Key Barriers Prevent Engagement to be an “Any-Day” Activity
IDENTIFY relevant
“opt-in” stakeholders
ENGAGE in time-bound,
focused
dialogues, your
way
PUBLISH clear
outcomes curated
from your
engagement
