E N D
Current Situation • Council aims to improve from 2 star to 4 star by 2012 • Local Strategic Partnership to demonstrate improvements against shared priorities
Problems – Culture • Current Culture of Plymouth City Council and Partners is of “Data Silos” • Encourages protective behaviour over key data in different departments • Existing Data Sharing is good but based on goodwill • Decision Making is challenging as a result
Problems – Data Rich, Information Poor • Considerable data is held by the council and its partners on service delivery • Limited analytical techniques used to extract intelligence from the data • Over reliance on individuals in specialist areas • Officers’ time becomes consumed by analysis • Data analysis not driving the council and the LSP Forward effectively
Problems – Data Dissemination • Plymouth Informed is the desired corporate method of data dissemination • Our Local Information System • Web-based GIS technology • Heavily underutilised by partners and the public • In need of development in order to meet customer requirements
Role of the University • Supports the academic work of the Associate • Provides support and expertise in developing some of the projects outputs
Approach of KTP Project • Observation of current practices • Understanding how the LSP works • How are the relationships between Partners? • Analysis of cultural and organisational barriers to data sharing • Why have these arisen? • How can they be overcome? • Identify best practice - Liverpool, Gloucester, Sheffield • Conduct evaluation of information resources • Availability & Detail • Completeness & Format
Project products • Data sharing protocols • Data hub • Redevelopment of Plymouth Informed • Profiling work • Development of demonstration methods of presenting data
Expected Direct Outcomes • Increased availability of key data • Improved data quality • Increase in skills levels • Reduced costs and time in undertaking data collection • Greater shared understanding of the issues faced by the city • Catalyst for greater multi-agency working • Enhance relationship between the University and the LSP • Improved presentation of data – turning data into intelligence • Enabling a better understanding of our customer requirements
Expected Wider Outcomes • Strategic and Operational evidence based decision making will improve service delivery • Enhancement of the reputation of the Council and the LSP • Provides the public with a means of holding public sector organisations to account
