Previously, I discussed what data waste is and what could likely cause it within an organisation. In the blog, I compared data waste to a box of unused clothes lying rotting up in the attic and the unwanted perils it may cause. In this second blog, the focus turns to how to best deal with …
In recent years, there has been a significant focus on individuals and organisations to reduce waste in support of global climate change and environmentally conscious efforts.

I was fortunate to have been invited to attend the recent ‘Data & Analytics in Healthcare’ conference in Australia which took place at the end of March. The event was positioned as a ‘deep-dive into the data transformation taking place in healthcare across Australia – and aimed to explore efforts to transform the use of …
