32. The art of the case study
Specify - Resist the urge to be vague and always quantify
Admiration – Choose an industry your industry admires
Realism – Err on the lower side of a range when you transpose
Adaptation – Do consider how an industry sector might compare
Lower limit – Use ‘at least’ rather than ‘up to’ to limit downside thought
Every case study is ‘farmers math’. Think of your proof
point like a working hypothesis.
39. What is the problem that open data
alone could solve for your business?
40. What is the unique value of open data?
Open data is a means to derive greater value from your data - value
no-longer comes from data itself but the products and services that
consume it.
Improved experience for your customers
Reduced friction in access to market
Increased productivity among workforce
Reduced cost of operation
Smoother, more effective partnerships
Superior reach and brand awareness
Beneficial offer status in new markets
Stronger supply chain visibility
42. Making ‘the ask’
Any good pitch, be it to a superior, a colleague or a group
should end with an action.
Without the action your audience will often forget or neglect the
area.
The ask needs to be immediate and proportionate. Your
audience should be able to say yes or no right there in the
room
43. Small, clear actions
Ensure that the ask is simple and small-scale
Keep the timeframe and impact clear
Make sure any budget is commensurate with returns
48. Development work
1. Identify a list of 5 people to speak to
2. Prepare and deliver tailored pitches to 3
3. Document reactions, questions and follow-ons
4. Share your experience with fellow participants

SPACE TO CONVENE, help others use data
We can move data. We can open it and we can close it.
I use the analogy that data is like a road – pretty uninteresting in and of itself, but gets you somewhere
roads connect together, like data connects together, but the other thing about roads is that they don't just appear out of nowhere: we make them
we choose what roads we make, we choose which roads we invest in to make them wider or easier to travel on, where we put junctions and where bridges
and they make everyone's lives easier
