Putting the Power of Data to Work for America

There’s lots of talk these days in the tech community about organizations being data-driven. If you look across all organizations out there, which one has made the biggest change in being data driven? My answer is the US Government. As a data scientist, one thing I can guarantee is that President Barack Obama is the most data-driven President we’ve ever had. We have an incredible opportunity to unleash the power of data to create better government, build better services for our citizens, and unlock new economic innovations. If we’re really going to make the world better through data, it’s going to take all of us. So, here’s my call to those of you in the tech and data sectors: We need your help. Come on and join in and help make our country better.
