| Results and Impact | Towards the end of October, the Hartree Centre North East Hub hosted a free event at The Catalyst, Newcastle for organisations to learn more about the role that data science can play and how a data driven culture can impact productivity, increase sales and reduce costs. Throughout the session, organisations were able to get hands-on with popular data science tools and platforms, whilst chatting with our data experts. Developing a Digital Mindset For the first deep dive session, we were joined by Ben Mushen, one of the Digital Adoption Specialists at Digital Pathfinders. Ben was able to share how developing a digital mindset can often be the first step in thinking about data and how it impacts a business' strategy. To conclude, Ben shared some nuggets of wisdom, saying that classifying, cleaning and understanding data fully before automating it is the key to success. What is Data Classification? Data classification is the process of categorising data based on attributes like sensitivity and importance. It helps organisations to organise, secure, and manage their data effectively, ensuring compliance with regulations and making it easier to understand. What is Data Cleaning? Data cleaning, also known as data cleansing, is the process of identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies, and inaccuracies in datasets. It is crucial for improving data quality and reliability, ensuring that data-driven decisions and analyses are based on accurate information. |

| Results and Impact | At the end of February, the Hartree Centre North East Hub hosted a two-day masterclass at the Village Hotel Newcastle to explore data-driven innovation. Over the two days, there were plenty of opportunities to delve into sector-specific conversations with our experts and engage in hands-on activities, such as focus groups. Throughout the workshop, attendees were able to explore data sources and analysis, discuss innovation models, have a look at some interesting case studies, and begin to implement tailored strategies that they could then take away with them. What is Value Innovation? Delivering exceptional value to your most important customer every time. Achieving successful value innovation is a delicate balance between addressing direct customer needs and utilising cutting-edge technology. There are a number of things to consider when creating your data innovation strategy, some of them are: Technology Push VS Market Pull When thinking about innovation, it is important to think about the value you are providing and whether it is innovation as a result of demand and market pull, or whether it is as a result of developing technologies and pushing them out to market. By making sure you are catering to the requirements of your buyers, your innovation strategy should be heading in the right direction. Recognising Key Customers Have a look at your organisation's value chain by breaking down all of the transactions between you and your end user. By analysing your value chain, it becomes easier to highlight opportunities for cost reduction, process optimisation and competitive advantage. |
