On the platform of Analytics Lab, Systems Science students analyzed municipality open data of invoices and suppliers. The students delivered analysis in the form of dashboards and described the possibilities (and challenges) of analyzing public sector digitalization through the prism of external spending. One fascinating insight from the project presentations on November 1st was on how to move forward from seeing this data not as compliance and transparency activity but rather as an input for innovation and service design.
Explore the data yourself using the dashboards! Note how different the supplier landscapes in each municipality are. All provide a different take on what is seen (or hidden) in municipality open data.
