| Description | Many organisations collect significant amounts of data and are increasingly interested in using this to generate insights. However, where data is not systematically collected or where recording practices are poor, this limits the potential to exploit it. The research has demonstrated the need for publicly funded bodies to attend carefully to their data collecting practices |
