Last week, at SAIC's ⚽ Kickstart Conference, I heard a reference to our "VUCA" world. This acronym, which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous characterizes the nature of our as-is and to-be societal world 🌏 challenges. I would assert that one "link" which we all share in this LinkedIn community is the need to become masters of data curation and analysis to inform our views of the world and make 👩‍🎓 smart decisions that help us navigate our VUCA world. My current focus is on the 2030 Census Decennial and associated 👨‍🚒 👮‍♂️ 👴 👩‍🎤 👩‍🚀 citizen experiences. To get a little smarter, I wanted to consume some of the rich data made available to the U.S. public. You can do this too! 1st, join the Developer’s Forum by going to: https://lnkd.in/dZCMVxGV 📊 Once set up, select the App Gallery. At the top of the list is the Boston Planning & Development Agency My Census Viewer: https://lnkd.in/dQJ8eaBD 🗾 From this page, there are two primary maps you can select from to view demographic data. I selected the 2020 Decennial Census map. This is clickable by tract or neighborhood. Once you make your selection you can view the data for that area. Some quick clicking allows you to detect which areas are most heavily populated by students. Further investigation of these areas also shows the 🌈diversity of these populations. These data are very interesting -- but what if we could ask the interface a question such as "Please visualize neighborhood diversity by showing the most diverse neighborhoods as blue and the least diverse as orange." What if we could ask the data smart questions and see data representations that inform our answers? Cool, right? SAIC is working on just this sort of solution! Text me with your ideas about what questions you might ask a demographic database. What can't you see that you want to see? Why would this help answer important questions? I believe that measuring our population, and using these data to inform decisions positively contributes to our ability to address our VUCA world. And, if you are still curious about VUCA, look up this YouTube Video: Leading in a World of Uncertainty with MIT’s Deborah Ancona. I’ve also created a link to her 2022 update on my LinkedIn page. #Data #Solutions for our #VUCA world!

🚀 **Introducing Our 6-Week Journey into the Future of Data and AI in Federal Civil Health, Defense, and Intelligence** 🌐 Missions across the federal government face a central challenge: how to fully take advantage of the entirety of their agency’s (and the world’s) relevant data to achieve clear situational understandings, bolster decision making, and achieve faster, better outcomes. Over the next six weeks, we will be sharing a series of case studies that showcase how #Data Analytics and #AI/ML programs have driven meaningful outcomes across Civil Health, Defense, and Intelligence communities. Today we spotlight an example of how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expanding Data Science Fluency with a commitment to collaboration and innovation by building and maintaining the Enterprise Data Analytics and Visualization Platform (EDAV). https://lnkd.in/efCqu9Tc https://lnkd.in/eaFmm-2u

Automation is transforming government agencies by streamlining processes, reducing manual workloads, and enhancing efficiency. For federal agencies, like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, automation has significantly boosted efficiency, enabling the approval of over 1 million PACT ACT claims. This progress serves as a remarkable illustration of how automation aids in streamlining operations to enhance service delivery for their beneficiaries. Read the full article on Nextgov/FCW.
