SEASON 2 EPISODE 6 There's Always a Solution: The importance of data storytelling and contextualisation (Part 2) Hosted by Rhetta Chappell Conversation with ⁠Dan O'Halloran⁠ and Dr. Tom Verhelst When it comes to understanding patient and community needs and improving interventions, experiences, and outcomes, a conversation with and about data and contextualisation are both crucial elements in understanding and making sense of information. Data provide the raw material for analysis and decision-making, but it is only when contextualised that data or insights become truly actionable and valuable. Contextualisation refers to the process of understanding the circumstances and conditions in which the data were collected, and the broader social, economic, and cultural factors that may have influenced interpretation. Put simply, without contextualisation, data can be misleading and even harmful. Join our conversation with health economist and adjunct professor Dan O’Halloran as we discuss data storytelling and explore whether well-meaning policies are incentivising true value or value-for-money in Australian hospitals, day-cares, and aged-care homes and whether as decision makers we have the right to ask people to do things that they simply just don’t have the financial capacity or freedom to do. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach us on Twitter at @G_RIDL or by email at [email protected]. Griffith University and the Relational Insights Data Lab (RIDL) are dedicated to building and supporting thriving communities. We believe that the right data, in the hands of the right people, can change lives for the better. We are committed to collaborating and co-designing solutions which address long standing, complex socio-economic problems.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 4 Data with Impact: How data can help improve labour force outcomes Hosted by ⁠Rhetta Chappell⁠ Conversation with ⁠Kevin Harper and ⁠⁠Dr. Tom Verhelst⁠ Exploring the utility of mobility data to drive positive and sustainable change, mobility data are extremely valuable when working to solve complex social problems. By collecting and analysing data on how, when and where people move around a neighbourhood, city or region, governments and organisations can gain valuable insights into human behaviour, transportation use, incident rates and can be used to inform interventions promoting greater equity, sustainability, and safety in our communities. Mobility data can also play a vital role in disaster response efforts, helping to ensure that resources are deployed efficiently and effectively to those in need. DSpark are leaders in processing large geo-spatial temporal mobility data to deliver intelligence on people and places using the highest data privacy standards. Understanding how people move, where they go and what they do enables their partner organisations to map their strategy around where people live, work and play. Join us as we discuss the importance of fostering a data friendly and curious work culture, and why it’s hard for some organisations to take that calculated risk and trust how in what the data say, even though if they do so, they can reap the benefits of being an insight rich organisation.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 3 A Data Informed Approach to Climate Justice: The intersection between climate change and human rights Hosted by Rhetta Chappell Conversation with Professor Susan Harris Rimmer and Dr. Tom Verhelst Climate change is a shared challenge that requires a combination of global and local solutions. Data plays a critical role in understanding and addressing the challenges of climate change. This is because data and insights allow us to track things like greenhouse gas emissions, monitor the impacts of climate change on our communities and environments, and develop effective policies and strategies to mitigate and adapt to its effects. Additionally, the importance of data extends beyond the realm of science and policy, as climate change intersects with human rights in a multitude of ways. We can already see examples of how climate change is exacerbating existing inequities and vulnerabilities, particularly among marginalised communities who often have limited access to resources and information – think places like Vanuatu, Manila, Haiti, and Yemen. Furthermore, efforts to address climate change can have serious impacts on human rights, such as the right to food and water.  In Australia, we know too well the multi-generational effects natural disasters and extreme weather can have on communities, but what should we make of the international conversations being had deciding who is responsible for the loss and damages caused by climate change? Is it practical to establish systems wherein data are used in ways that uphold human rights and what’s being done to fill the data gap on heat related deaths in Australia?

SEASON 2 EPISODE 2 Data with Impact: How data can help improve labour force outcomes Hosted by Rhetta Chappell Conversation with ⁠Paul Miles⁠ Nudge theory and behavioural insights can be powerful tools in the context of improving labour market attachment and training outcomes by using data for social good, as they can help encourage individuals to make better decisions without resorting to coercion or restrictions on personal freedom. By using data and behavioural insights to design effective nudges, organisations and governments can promote positive social outcomes and improve people's lives. Learn how the BUSY Group, one of Australia’s largest for-purpose employment, education and training organisations is harnessing the power of data insights to provide accessible and relevant opportunities to the people and communities they work with. Join us as we discuss the influence behavioural insights can have when implemented ethically and transparently and the potential it unlocks when especially when working with cohorts facing multiple barriers.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 Data and Crime Lords: A data-driven approach in addressing financial crime Hosted by Rhetta Chappell Conversation with Professor Andreas Chai and Dr Tom Verhelst According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) financial crimes cost the world around two trillion dollars annually and only one percent of that is ever seized.  Due to the size, spread, complexity and lack of visibility into the bulk of this activity, helping to realise as little as an additional percentage of this problem could reap serious benefits for victims and communities. By providing a sandbox style testing environment to analyse anonymised historical financial transaction data, AFCIC will enable Griffith researchers to use novel and trusted econometric and data science pattern detection techniques to identify key signals within the huge time-series datasets linking transactions and accounts between multiple organisations. AFCIC will then use these insights to develop more proactive, wholistic and sustainable detection and prevention strategies and continually update the training materials for the academy and providing a pipeline of qualified people. While data provides exciting opportunities to inform decisions which then better help the victims of financial crime, Chai and AFCIC understand that combatting financial crime is a job never done, and one that will require continuous innovation as criminals adjust their behaviour and respond to market restrictions and incentives. If you want to help address this complex issue affecting millions around the world and gain experience working with real-world financial data, we encourage you to check out the Academy of Financial Crime Investigation and Compliance (AFCIC) and enrol in one of their industry leading certifications, diplomas, or micro-credentials. AFCIC is an excellent example of how data can be harnessed, and immense value can be unlocked and used to develop evidenced-based solutions to local and global problems.

EPISODE 2 Public Policy and Data for the Common Good Conversation with Adjunct Professor Anne Tiernan and Dr. Tom Verhelst Data informed policy and evidence-based decision making are not new concepts or ways of working in Australia. But noticeably, recent events have accelerated the pace at which all levels of society are embracing or at least accepting digital and often data driven transformations. But is this what the public want? Are we using data ethically and sustainably? What role does and should data and evidence play in our political processes and policy making?

EPISODE 1 Data Privacy in 2021: Embracing the paradox Conversation with Michelle Teis and Dr. Tom Verhelst “Data can be either useful or perfectly anonymous but never both” – Ohm, 2009. This sober conclusion encapsulates a realisation we contemplate regularly as data analysts, scientists, data practitioners and decision makers. Acknowledging and balancing the tradeoffs between useful and anonymous data and the related ethical implications of accessing, sharing and storing these data is a part of each and every data partnership we form. Ethical frameworks are living documents and outline ways of working. While there are some standard components, ethical frameworks are applied differently depending on the contexts in which, and by whom they are applied. How then do we protect peoples’ right to privacy while working transparently to address complex and highly-nuanced socio-economic problems? How do we balance this trade-off between useful and anonymous data? What does working with data ethically actually mean and where do you start?
