Open data leaders network digest

Abstract

While this digest focuses on challenges for civil servants, many of the techniques and lessons discussed apply to open data leaders in private or third-sector organisations. The digest represents a collection of reflections from leaders of open data initiatives about their experience in driving change, with insights about enabling governance reform, working in coalition, tackling implementation challenges, and stimulating innovative uses of data. In some ways, civil servants who innovate with data are performing the tasks of entrepreneurs. The Open Data Institute (ODI) connects, equips and inspires people around the world to innovate with data.
