For a second year in a row, I have been fortunate to receive a grant from the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Project: Building Analytical Capabilities for Big Data in the Public Sector: From Paralysis to Analysis
The goal of this project is to arrive at an actionable framework for federal agencies to navigate the ‘big’ data management challenge. We will interview Chief Information Officers (CIOs) who are leading ‘big’ data projects at federal, state, and local agencies to understand the challenges they face and their attempts to navigate opportunities provided by ‘big’ and ‘open’ data. We will administer a survey to measures technical, processes, people, and organizational factors that impact an agency’s readiness and experience with big data management. An actionable framework will be developed that outlines how public agencies should proceed to create a roadmap towards devising analytical capabilities for big data management.
