Building a data-driven innovation program

A crowdsourced guide by and for local government innovators

What we're building

As larger, better-resourced local governments continue to find new ways to collect and effectively harness their data, many small and medium-sized communities are being left behind.


Most of these local governments want to utilize data to drive decision-making, but they don’t know where to start. 


To help these communities get up and running with data and innovation programs, we’re turning to local government innovators who are blazing the trail in this space.
