Data and the Public Sector with Giuseppe Sollazzo

Episode notes

The UK’s public sector uses vast quantities of data to keep its vital services running. But what's the best way to communicate with the public about these services? Today’s guest is Giuseppe Sollazzo, who currently heads up data products and services at the Department of Work and Pensions. He’s spent his entire career at the heart of the public sector. Giuseppe initially aspired to be an academic, but one failed Ph.D. later, he realised he needed to be more agile in his career trajectory. This led him into the NHS, the Department for Transport, and placed him squarely at the nexus of how we communicate data across society. Giuseppe and his team also pen the famous Quantum of Sollazzo newsletter, which has become a staple in the open data community. We discuss communicating data to citizens, the role of AI in the public sector, and the UK’s digital skills gap.
