CATALYTIC ENHANCEMENT

DESCRIPTION

Building partnerships for co-creating data products and using data for decision making within a broader context of a learning and practice culture.

Shaping the partnerships with stakeholders to embed a culture of learning by combining traditional and innovative methods to co-create data and evidence products for use to improve service delivery. Identify opportunities to cocreate data- and evidence Develop a publication of data trends from the SDI, which will underpin performance dialogues. Requires augmenting and mastering associated methodologies and capacitating PDO and clients

Performance dialogues using the results from the Service Delivery Index (SDI) capability

Develop data analytics capabilities and use analytics resources efficiently to respond to the increasing demand for small geographical area analysis

Small geographical area analysis on policy matters.

Data integration of (1) non-financial performance data and (2) non-financial and financial performance data

Shift from combining individual reports to using integrated data to co create reports which provides Executive and Cabinet with insights on socio-economic trends and provincial impact. Requires PDO-Policy-PT collaboration Improve the use of evaluative evidence for business improvement and socio-economic impact through a coherent approach between PDO, evaluative evidence product owners, policy makers, programme planners and decision makers Expanding on the basket of responsive evidence services offered by strengthening the co-creation approach and the four resourcing models adopted for evidence generation An integrated demand-supply management approach of data and evidence products and associated data technology between PDO, BeI and clients The data platform must be fit for purpose, accessible and safe. Execution of data practices and use of technology to maintain the data platform must be implemented using a formalised and collaborative approach with data users and data producers Increase the shift towards interactive reports and dashboards. Improve the accessibility and usability of the WC Data Portal as the authoritative single point of truth (SPOT) of shared data. Establish Open Data as a Service through the WC Data Portal. Improve the ease of finding data and evidence products. Co-creating the data policy and legislative framework to strengthen the governance of the WCG Ecosystem. This includes developing of data practices such as safe access to and sharing of data PDF as a platform for (1) departments to engage on leveraging each other to deliver on their data initiatives and institutionalise data governance practices with PDO guidance (2) keeping departments informed on PDO products, methods, tools and techniques (3) shaping integrated demand-supply management between PDO-BeI-Departments. (4) Optimise and integrate Data Collection tools (5) embed data-driven culture in the WCG Leveraging the REAP initiative in collaboration with ACE and stakeholders (internal and external) by adopting and expanding on the basket of responsive evidence services offered

Coherent transversal approach for evaluative evidence in realising transversal priorities

Responsive data and evidence methods, tools and techniques as capabilities for policy, planning, reviewing and decision making

A common ground for data and technology coordination to realise coherent data demand/requirements and supply experience Data platform for data users and data producers (internal and external) to safely access and share data for collaborative consumption

Increased access and use of data via interactive reports and dashboards via the WC Data Portal

A collaborative approach for an enabling data legislative environment supporting accountability and sharing of data

Leveraging the Provincial Data Forum (PDF) to shape the increased use and access to credible data for better service delivery outcomes

Shaping a Community of Practice for responsive data and evidence services across departments in partnerships and inclusive of global, regional, national, and local developments

Year-on-year the data and evidence services contribute directly to increased use of data across the WCG. The quality of the indicators and data products used to inform these outputs are also incrementally increased through continuous refinement of the integrated responsive operating model of the PDO.
