my challenge to you

• where do you want impact?

• what data is connected? is it open?

• which stakeholders get new agency? are they involved?

• self, others, or collaborative?

my challenge to you as SAIs

• how to become data driven?

• how to use existing data sets for impact assessment?

• how to use open data as pre-hypothesis tool?

• can you track commitments?

• can you provide push in your reports?
