Facilitating Impact
Ensuring impactful use of your open data both within and beyond your organisation requires taking action to facilitate use. Activities that have had previous success include:
The appointment of an "Open Data Champion" to promote the availability of open data and its use
Hackathons and other developer-orientated events
Innovation challenges and competitions, for instance the Open Data Challenge Series hosted by ODI and Nesta, or the Data for Local Environments Challenge hosted by the Industry for Data Partnership
Seed capital to turn a small number of compelling concepts into startups as exemplars
Business round-tables or other events of engaging potential business users with open data from selected organisations
Capacity building and awareness raising to promote the re-use of data within your organisation
