Insight: Information and Data Strategy
Overview
Developing a digital and data-centric, data informed organisation is essential to the successful transformation of council operations.
As a data informed organisation, and in line with the National Digital Strategy for Scotland, the Council understands the transformational role that data can play in increasing transparency, empowering communities, transforming products and services, fuelling innovation, and improving outcomes.
A Digitally mature Council will use data and insight effectively to increase understanding and drive efficiencies throughout services.
The Information and Data Strategy and Vision for Business Intelligence are now available with approaches being defined in alignment both with National guidance and the overall Digital Strategy. The respective teams will work together to ensure continued alignment, collaboration of these interconnecting approaches along with the ICT Strategy.
