Overview
Reframing data to strengthen leadership practice.
This five-part masterclass series examines how data shapes – and is shaped by – public institutions, communities, and systems of accountability. Rather than treating “data” as a neutral or universal concept, the series invites participants to question assumptions, explore alternative framings (such as evidence, knowledge, and story), and understand the cultural, ethical and governance considerations that underpin public value in practice.
Participants will encounter perspectives spanning data ethics, evidence-informed policymaking, First Nations data sovereignty, organisational capability, and the relational nature of trust in public data use.
