The data we don't know we don't know #2 2019 Open Data Day


THE DATA WE DON'T KNOW WE DON'T KNOW 

The Third Annual data we don’t know we don’t know deliberation
Innovation Birmingham, World Open Data Day 2019. 

Public realm  provision is designed  and developed through -
Traditional Model delivers services, in house, planned through restricted, silo (departmental)  focused data
Services gather data, feed data back to decision making process.


This provides
· A linear decision making process
· Fiscally restricted budgeting
· Restricted data identifying need—developing deficiency model planning
· Services gather data which is fed into provision planning and the process becomes silo focused and cyclical

The ‘Transformation Agenda’ 
This attempts to widen provision of services by developing a ‘market place’
The ‘transformation’ agenda has involved some services being delivered through ‘external’ providers through commissioning.
Services planned through restricted, silo focused data with some services delivered through commissioned activities, third sector or private organisations
Commissioned organisations have to comply with public realm imposed  governance  compliance. This can and does restrict who can deliver services.
All providers must gather data and feed in into the linear process 



All service providers gather data, feed data back to decision making process.

The market place model is a misnomer. 

Public realm commissioners and funding programmes control the fiscal stricture, designate the activity and output and therefore, by design, identify the cost of a product / delivery  process.


The data we don’t know….
Asset based community activity data may not be gathered:


Community led activity, faith based activity, volunteering and activism data is not collated and included in decision making processes. 
Asset based, community led activity is not monitored for a variety of reasons—localised skill level, local data gathering is weak, data is ignored by public realm organisations

Public realm service provision data does not fully acknowledge what people are doing within their community may be collected only when it interacts with public realm provision. 

    Some services may be  provided as ’outreach ’ and do not acknowledge local skills or knowledge, with project data and not asset based activity data being collected.
