For the second Canalside Chat of 2022, Emma Thwaites (Director of Communication and Marketing, ODI) will be in conversation with Miranda Sharp (CEO, Metis Digital) about data sharing and the need for new business models.
Most businesses now recognise the value of data sharing. It's difficult to find someone who disagrees with the idea that more data should be shared, and that more data sharing could benefit both people and the planet.
However, there’s still hesitation from businesses around actually sharing the data that they hold – including concerns around privacy, security and commercial liability. There can even be friction when sharing data within a business – from conflicting team priorities, to miscommunications about the specifications of why certain data was collected.
So, how do businesses make this data sharing sustainable?
Convene with other leading thinkers to hear from our expert speakers, and enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles, opportunities to network and the chance to take part in a live Q&A.
This is a free, in-person event and will be held in Kings Place, King’s Cross, London.
