Presenter: Dr. Joanna McKenzie, Principal Data Scientist, The Data Lab
What can COVID-19 and the UK response teach us about data-driven strategy? Making decisions in a crisis or in a time of change is a tough ask for any leader, and never more so than when the science is still evolving. In this talk, we look at the power of a data strategy in uncertain times, and what we can learn from COVID-19 to allow us to use data to our advantage.
