Public policy decisions carry consequences that data can help anticipate. This ten-day course equips government analysts and policy officers to build evidence-based policy proposals, evaluate programme outcomes and allocate limited public resources using structured analytical methods.
Government decisions increasingly need to be defensible with evidence, not just precedent. This course trains public sector professionals to gather and analyse administrative, survey and open data to inform policy design, forecast the effects of proposed interventions, and monitor whether programmes deliver what they promised.
Sessions cover data collection challenges specific to government settings, cost-benefit and impact evaluation methods, and dashboard design for policy reporting. Case studies draw on public sector scenarios such as service delivery, budget allocation and social programme monitoring.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how data analytics for government policy and decision making is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for feedback and refinement, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
