Interesting read by Stefaan Verhulst, PhD, Roeland Beerten and Johannes Jütting - From Averages to Agency: Rethinking Official Statistics for the 21st Century "The vision of citizen-centric data begins from the recognition that, in a world saturated with data and information overload, the real scarcities we face are of meaning, agency and trust. Statistical agencies are often part of the problem because they are insufficiently focused on their clients, i.e., citizens. But if agencies and governments embrace the potential of more participatory approaches, they can be far more than mere producers of charts and spreadsheets. They can become facilitators of collective intelligence, architects of inclusion, and stewards of a more empathetic and effective public sector. This is the vision of citizen-centric statistics. To achieve this vision, we need to cultivate new forms and mechanisms of governance, create decision accelerators and deliberative spaces for communities to define what matters and why. We must invest in data stewards and expand their roles to include connecting communities, technologists, decision-makers, and other stakeholders, and embed feedback loops to ensure people see how their input can shape policy and affect their lives." https://lnkd.in/dSf77jj8
