Government Data Management

Driving more value from public data assets

Australian government departments and agencies are increasingly focused on driving more value from their data.
Many agencies are appointing a Chief Data Officer or other data leaders – with a mandate for change and innovation around data and data culture. The aim? To create gold standard, high quality data regimes that eliminate data quality issues, delays, duplication, and manual labour.
This is no easy task.
A practical data management partner
Government data leaders typically face data skills and knowledge gaps within their own organisation. That’s where Robinson Ryan steps in – as a long-term data management partner. We work entirely flexibly to help you drive practical progress – whether you need support at the strategy level, to deliver projects, or for your people, such as mentoring, coaching or training.

Example government data management projects

Government clients choose Robinson Ryan because of our specialist data management services, our knowledge of the public sector, our neutral position on technology which ensures unbiased advice, and our position on government panels.
