During 2020, the LGA worked with Shared Intelligence to research the early use of advanced and predictive analytics in local government.  The project consulted widely and ran a number of action learning sets with participating councils.  The work sought to stocktake current activity in the sector, identify early activities, benefits and risks.  It also sought to prepare initial guidance for councils beginning to explore these capabilities.  The result is this report that was first launched at the LARIA conference on 10-Nov-2020
