DATA UTOPIANS: GO FOR IT!

GUYS WITH THE MISSION – OMG!

“MOVE!”??? There is conflict “where,” and confusion “how”

“IT’S EASY!”??? There are

TO THE WORLD….

“IT’S EASY!”??? There are no “killer apps”

“TRUST ME!” ??? No one has scaled the mountain and come down with jobs &C

IT’S A PARADOX!(It’s No Sure Bet)

TO THE WORLD….

The (Big) Move to Open Data/Platforms:

Success Stories

TO THE WORLD….

US National Weather ServiceNIEM/UCore

Global Civil Aviation

It took a 100 year “push”, but NOAA’s National Weather Service data is now one of the greatest global resources

Today, it’s all “pull”: a +$50B US market in weather trading operations pulls data to trading desks of financial institutions, utility companies,

hedgefunds, commodity traders, and insurance companies

The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) – An Emerging Global Capability

US DoD’s “UCore”: All US DoD events, no matter in what system, are tagged and

searchable by 4 universal core factorsWHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE

What about new collaborations – why make the move now

TO THE WORLD….

make the move now to open data?

ASK FORMER NYPD/LAPD CHIEF BILL BRATTON:

USE “OPEN” DATA TO PUT “COPS ON THE DOTS” FOR CRIME FOR CRIME CONTROL

ASK HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL CIO JOHN HALAMKA:

USE OPEN DATA TO EXCHANGE MEDICAL RECORDS

ASK THE US NAVY’S BILL JOHNSON

USE OPEN DATA TO ASSURE HIGHEST PERFORMANCEPERFORMANCE

4 LESSONS FROM 3 LEADERS

LESSON #1: there’s a six-stage lifecycle for collaboration on open data: don’t skip a step

• VISUALIZATIONSTAGE 1

• CONFIGURATIONSTAGE 2

• FORMATIONSTAGE 3

• MOBILIZATIONSTAGE 4

• REALIZATIONSTAGE 5

• TRANSFORMATIONSTAGE 6

Known lifecycle risks(don’t be toast!)

4 CLASSIC “FAILS” IN THE MOVE TO OPEN DATA

• FAIL #1: Stage 2 “Configuration” - No Right-Sized Problem/SKIPPED

• FAIL #2: Stage 3 “Formation” - Assets Not Formed Up/ DATA LOST FINDING DATAFormed Up/ DATA LOST FINDING DATA

• FAIL #3: Stage 4 “Mobilization”– What’s In It For Me?/FREE IS NOT CHEAP ENOUGH

• FAIL #4: Stage 6 “Transformation” - NO OUTCOMES RESULT, NO VALUE DELIVERED

• “FORMATION”: Bratton’s data crisis

STAGE 3 RISK

• “FORMATION”: Johnson’s platform

STAGE Johnson’s platform

STAGE 3 RISK

• “MOBILIZATION“: Halamka’s incentives

STAGE 4 RISK

LESSON #2: make the move pay in whatever currency works

EVERYBODY ASKS:

TO THE WORLD….

TO THE WORLD….

Empowerment, Performance

MoneyMoney

Promotions, spotlight

LESSON #4 realize the effects, transform resultstransform results

Data sharing àhealth, savings

Data transparency Data transparency à reduced crime

Data driven àundersea advantage

The move to open data/platforms takes leadership “pull” and strategic management

It’s too important to leave only to “push” from the utopians.

Are you ready to rumble?

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

YOU be the customer1. Create a non-debateable business need for data2. Right-size problems and get value in the hands of

TO THE WORLD….

2. Right-size problems and get value in the hands of users fast

3. Demand, inspect, and reward data-driven performance

4. Align the incentives: reward cross-boundary, shared mission collaborations, not just individual efforts

5. Know where you are on the 6-stage lifecycle6. Assess your readiness for the next move –

and your partners’

TO THE WORLD….

and your partners’7. Assure the move forward – managing your 8

building-block risks at each stage (make it pay, get and give political cover, etc.)

8. Complete the doing through all stages – push the disruption forward.

THAT IS A FRAMEWORK FOR THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF THE MOVE TO OPEN DATA

TO THE WORLD….

(...and the end of paradox)

ABOVE ALL...

Be humble... This is hard. No one can go it alone

TO THE WORLD….

it alone

Be optimistic. This is do-able – together.
