Benefiting from the opportunities of big data requires that third sector organisations have access to the right expertise & resources. This workshop will explore how well equipped third sector organisations are to collect, store, manage, secure and analyse big data resources. It will also explore solutions to begin to tackle some of the barriers and challenges.

Keynote Speakers
 
Madeleine Thornton, Buttle UK
Buttle UK gather masses of data about the families we support and consider it our duty to gain as much value from that data as possible. Over the past year they have begun experimenting with different approaches, and Madeleine will be talking about some of their experiences along the way and where they plan to go next.
 
Georgina Eaton & Tillie Paul, Justice Data Lab
The Justice Data Lab is a service aimed at helping organisations who run interventions to reduce re-offending, to move from measuring output to measuring outcomes. The session will cover the main aims of the Justice Data Lab, how it works, how organisations can access the service and our findings to date.
 
The workshop will also include Café Conversation sessions, discussion and networking opportunities with researchers and practitioners interested in third sector data.
