Our very first day set the scene, kicking off with an opening address from Professor Sir Ian Diamond, Head of the Analysis Function and National Statistician who introduced the theme of event; 鈥楢nalysis Connect鈥� and the importance of encouraging collaborative working by bringing the analytical community together. He then led straight into a panel discussion with Professor Alison Park (Interim chair of the Economic and Social Research Council), Osama Rahman (Chief Analyst and Chief Scientific Advisor, Department for Education) and Jonathan Mills (Director General for Policy, Department for Work and Pensions), who discussed the future of analysis in government.

Focusing the discussion on high-quality analysis of data, Osama commented that 鈥淲hilst we say, 鈥榃ow, look at all this data!鈥� let鈥檚 not forget we need the full range of analytical skills that cover both breadth and depth鈥�.

We sold a phenomenal 7,500 tickets for seminars throughout the month, with delegates choosing from panel sessions, tackling big issues such as climate change and how data can make children鈥檚 lives better, learning seminars and connection opportunities, as well as daily blog posts from colleagues across the Analysis Function, giving us an insight into their work.

We enjoyed exploring topics such as data visualisation, Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP) and how to make spreadsheets accessible, rounding the month off with a fantastic Hackathon event, really capturing the month鈥檚 theme of connectivity. During the Hackathon, groups of 45 delegates from 17 different departments and various professions, worked together to answer six research questions posed by the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC), The Office for the Children鈥檚 Commissioner and the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The best thing is that it鈥檚 not too late to catch up on the terrific stories told by your government analyst colleagues through blogs and videos, all of which are available on our Analysis in Government Month hub page. Make sure to for more on highlights from the month.
