A word from Patrick
“Data is a tool for transforming public services and a matter of democratic importance. The role of a data strategist is to make public policies understandable, assessable, and open to debate by objectifying their environmental impacts. On a daily basis, this involves structuring shared, open, and actionable indicators that can be used both by operational teams and decision-makers.”
