Market fit for impact leaders using scalable systems | Harvard JD/PhD | Inclusive cities & communities
It was an honor presenting at Bloomberg LP’s HQ, which gathered socially-conscious scientists. Chief Data Officers at Mastercard, New York University, and the United Nations shared 3 lessons to use data for good: 1) Data can help us understand and solve U.N. SDGs, when paired with the right domain expertise. Think: better transit, service lines, and government services and policy. 2) Yet data is FAR from sufficient; we need better governance. Standards, policies, tools, and roles, like stewards and legal engineers, help ensure we solve these problems ethically, while developing stronger insights. 3) Finally, without the trust governance affords, well-intentioned initiatives can actually harm others. People won’t share quality data, believe your analyses, or cross-pollinate ideas across domains. In my presentation, I argued trust must include and go beyond privacy and security. Trust involves power and basic needs — how do we decide which problems to solve and do it virtuously? Thank you to the organizers for the awesome conference!

Dan Wu So many important points you make, especially this one to help drive better Data Governance culture: "cross-pollinate ideas across domains". We try to educate our clients on this however it only takes traction for those that truly embrace it.
Couldn't agree more on governance and trust. Data is meaningless by itself, what we do with it is what matters.
Hi Dan, I'm glad to meet you and would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your work. Best, Brenda
Dan Wu One way to answer your closing question, take a look at these folks: https://www.measuresforjustice.org/

Super interesting! Thanks for sharing Dan Wu!!
Dan, Well said on data privacy & security being the baseline, governance helps build trust. I'd add that with the best intent, there might be organizational/individual capability gaps on how best to bring diverse parties of interests to the table and prioritize efforts. To earn public trust, private sector can do more to advance individual/social/environmental well-beings.
Great stuff! CC Javier Carranza-Tresoldi :)
