Locations(Past Event) Smart City Training Series: Introduction to Lean Data, 16 July 2020
July 16, 2020
We hear a lot about ‘Big Data’, but this approach isn't always relevant when measuring the success of many international development initiatives. In particular, when working on digital and smart cities projects, ‘Lean Data’ principles can be especially useful.
Lean Data is about actionable social impact measurement. This includes leveraging tools like mobile-phone and voice-based customer data collection, and taking a ‘portfolio’ approach by learning from insights collected in other projects, programmes, and organisations. Katie Mountain, Business Development Manager at 60 Decibels, took us through the Lean Data process and principles that have been applied in many low- and middle-income countries.
This approach has not been deployed in UNDP, so Calum Handforth (Adviser, Digitalisation and Smart Cities) discussed a case study from an external project – focusing on chatbot deployment on Facebook Messenger.
