be partners on our Local Digital Fund application to explore the use
of Business Intelligence (BI) within a planning department to better
inform decision making.</p>
<p>Large quantities of data are recorded during the planning process,
but this data is often difficult to access, interpret and use in
decision making. </p>
<p>Currently, data reporting in planning is typically periodic,
retrospective and time consuming. The reports are typically static
representations, often just tables of numbers, with no useable link to
the source data. The data shown in reports is often aggregated with no
means to ‘drill down’, preventing the detailed analysis of performance
or causes and effects. In summary, this wealth of data is massively
underused in decision making. </p>
<p>If you would like to be a partner on our application, please contact
emily.hadley@wycombe.gov.uk by 5pm on Friday 13 September 2019.</p>
