Data - “…the new gold”?
The Challenge (i)The UK Government has concentrated almost exclusively upon the scope for
closer working between Higher Education Institutions and the private sector to
unlock the potential for greater efficiencies, improved outcomes and economic
growth harboured by personal, organisational and public open data. This has
driven significant investment into, for example, the midata initiative as well as
high profile health data sharing initiatives, and the work of the Connected Digital
Economy Catapult. It has also resulted in the establishment of the ‘What Works
Network’, the Justice Data Lab and Open Data Institute start-ups. With the
exception of modest investments on the part of NESTA and Nominet Trust,
policy makers and major funders have been all but silent when it comes
to working with community organisations to modernise and/or innovate
in the context of our increasingly data-driven society.

The Challenge (ii)Government Policy – localism, open government, ‘what works’
Central Government Practice – opening public services, impact investment
Local Government Practice – evidence-based commissioning / payments and
‘better for less’
Regulators, Funders and Social Investors – (not) leading by example,
monitoring/reporting and data-driven (post hoc) investment; and
Practice amongst Community Organisations – beneficiary intelligence (data
capture systems, data protection, public sector end user licenses), experience
(annual reports, accounts, grant monitoring, contract reporting, campaigning
and fundraising databases), knowledge (what data would be helpful / is
available, where can it be accessed, how can it be requested),
understanding/expertise (how to analyse/interpret data), digital enterprise
(where to begin)…
The OpportunityA project to explore if and how data might be harnessed so that communities
are better placed to:-
(a) understand the costs/impact associated with different approaches to
service delivery;
(b) evidence ‘better for less’ or alternative service proposals to
commissioners; and
(c) influence evidence-based policy-making activities on the basis of robust
evidence.
hypothesis: it may be possible to establish data coops underpinned by a combination of personal, organisational and public open data - asset-locked vehicles founded upon conscious contribution and explicitly designed to deliver tangible social, economic and environmental benefits – so that they function as distributed ethical impact investment vehicles.
Data Coops – what they could do
Collect standard, interoperable data about activities, beneficiaries & impacts
Enable members to contribute data about their organisations, activities,
beneficiaries and impact - have it analysed, bench-marked and re-presented
to aid planning, service design, tender development and organisational
transformation
Enable members to draw upon data contributed by others and deploy it to
improve organisational processes, service design and implementation,
contract and investment readiness, tender development and competitiveness.
Establish vehicles mixing personal, organisational and public open data to
address persistent social, economic and environmental challenges and
attract investment as ‘ethical data-driven impact investment vehicles’.
Data Coops – how they might work
Members supported to collect and contribute data in a standardised manner;
Member beneficiaries given the option to contribute their data to a Data Coop;
Public open data cleaned and inputted to add value to a Data Coop,
interoperable data collated to be analysed, and organisations’ activities,
beneficiaries, impacts benchmarked.
The anonymisation and deployment of data by the Data Coop to attract
investment/contracts to tackle specific social, economic and environmental
purposes (agreed to in its Memorandum and Articles of Association / by
beneficiaries / in keeping with the Government’s licenses concerning
public open data use).
