Government data in new enterprises to boost our economy. Furthermore, it engages key stakeholders

to understand them better, promoting data driven improvement in Government.

Above all, it holds the potential to drive positive transformation of Government in service provision, regulation, policy,

WORKSHOP A: 9:00AM-12:00PM

Open data publishing: Building the open data maturity of your

organisation

This 3 part workshop is designed to build capability with preparing data for publishing as open data, and elevate organisational open data maturity.

Part I - “Building foundations”: This introductory topic will run through the building blocks of open data and good quality data publishing practice.

Part II - “Open Data Pathways”: This session will explore the ODI’s Open Data Maturity Model and explain how the online Open Data Pathway tool can be used to evaluate your organisation’s strengths and weaknesses, set goals for areas of improvement and highlight practical recommendations to help achieve your goals.

Part III - “Open Data Certificates”: Our final segment will explore how Open Data Certificates work, the benefits they bring, and how your organisation can use this online tool to promote the quality and reliability of your publishing practice, so your open data is easy to find, use and share.

Workshop participants will gain:

• A strong understanding of the concepts of ‘open’, ‘shared’, ‘closed’ and ‘big’ data

• Strategies to overcome resistance and objections to publishing open data

• Awareness of global trends and benefits generated by open data • Practical recommendations to help build on or their own open data

strategy

Workshop Facilitator:

Maree Adshead, Founding CEO, Open Data Institute Queensland

Maree is the founding CEO of the Open Data Institute Queensland (ODIQ), which launched in Brisbane in December 2014. It is the ODIQ’s mission to transform the lives of Australians through open data. It was important for Australia to become a formal participant in the global open data movement and so ODIQ was established. ODIQ views itself as a cross sectoral, independent catalyst in the evolution of open data culture. It is our role to facilitate and unlock supply, generate demand, create and disseminate knowledge to address local and global issues. ODIQ believes in the power of open to deliver tangible public value for the benefit of everyone.

WORKSHOP B: 1:00PM-4:00PM

Gamifying government: Using data and play to help re-design

government services

Gamification is the use of game elements in an organisational context to engage and excite people about ideas and tasks. During this half day “talk-a-shop”, Alvaro Maz, Executive Director of Code for Australia will explore how gamification and play can promote better use of government data.

Through a three hour interactive workshop, participants will explore the tangible applications of government data analytics which can stem from a gamified design process.

Workshop participants will then be engaged to take part collaboratively in a playful and practical design workshop, utilising Government data analytics in hands-on, practical problem solving and service design.

Workshop participants will take away:

• Greater understanding of the interpenetration of games and everyday life

• Grounding in the possibilities of games to help organisations innovate as well as their pitfalls

• Awareness of the impact of games on motivation, engagement and behaviour change.

• Strategies to energize their organisation, products or services Workshop Facilitator:
