What Do The Experts Say?
Data is essential for the collaboration component of a thriving community, it’s also beneficial for analysing, measuring and reporting on the sustainability and innovation components. Collaboration, facilitated by data sharing, allows people at all levels of a community to be able to participate in decision-making and is an essential in being able to design a strategy for the future.
Measuring What Matters is a living framework that will continue to evolve and improve over time to reflect ongoing feedback from the community, new research, improved data availability, and changing community views. The government has developed an important foundation on which we can build – to understand, measure, and improve on the things that matter to Australians.
The NSW Government is committed to using data to improve outcomes for the community. Collaborating on data use and sharing will ensure that data is used consistently and safely to inform decision-making. This will aim to accelerate actionable insights, treat data as an asset, strengthen transparency and trust, and foster culture, leadership, and capability.
