6.10pm - An overview of the Asset Management Data Standards (AMDS) project; Stephen Clarke, NZTA
Stephen is an information and data management thought leader. Getting value from data, to make the world a better place is what gets him out of bed in the morning. He has worked in a range of sectors, but his passion is in increasing public sector efficiency and effectiveness through better service design and data quality. He has developed many information standards in NZ and internationally for ISO (and others) over the last 15 years. As an anthropologist he understands human systems, and as a technical expert he understands information systems. Successful technology implementations bring these two perspectives together to create human-centred products, that provide services designed for people not the platform. He is currently the Chief Data Officer for the NZ Transport Authority, his primary goal is to improve their asset data capability to make New Zealand’s transport systems better, safer and value for money.
