Home - Advanced and Predictive Analytics Network in Local Government
Welcome to APAN
Responding to the increasing use of predictive analytics within councils, the LGA has created a new online network for practitioners, bringing together practical help, support and an area for discussion on the use of advanced and predictive analytics into one place.
The Advanced & Predictive Analytics Network in Local Government (APAN) provides a network for local government data analysts and other invited experts to discuss, share and consider the opportunities, benefits and risks of using advanced analysis and predictive analytics in local government settings.
This is an interactive space where councils can share learning and support one another in a rapidly evolving area of innovation.
In time, we hope for the network to feature a range of discussions on the potential for data use to aid policy decisions and provide evidence for interventions. The network priorities will be determined by our users of this service. It will give councils an opportunity to showcase their use of projects, offer the evidence for their decisions, as well as share the systems and algorithms deployed for wider transparency, sharing and scrutiny.
We set out more detail about the partner organisations we are working with and the features in this network and how to use them in the "about pages" link.

There’s a lot of great research and analysis undertaken in local government, even though there has been a reduction in capacity over the last decade or so. To celebrate this, LARIA (Local Area Research and Intelligence Association) has relaunched its awards. This is an opportunity to showcase some of the best research and analytical work from local public sector organisations over the last year, so I hope some of my contacts in councils and other local public sector organisations will submit entries. There are categories for: * Best use of local area research – sponsored by the Local Government Association (LGA) * Best use of data – sponsored by CACI Ltd, and offering an additional prize for the winner * Best use of data or research in a district council * Most engaging communication of local area research or analysis * New researcher/analyst of the year As for the rest of you, why don’t you join us at the LARIA and LGA event in London on 16 November, when we’ll be announcing the winners, as well as hearing from a range of other organisations involved in research or analysis in local areas? More details about the awards and the event are on the LARIA website. We hope to see lots of you there. #localgovernment #research #data #localgov #awards #event |
