– Considering full economic potential of PSI– Open by default/legislative landscape– Commissioning new data (procurement)– Government policy on data privacy– Skills gap
• Open Data as a driver of growth– Metrics (can be difficult)– Evidence (will emerge as more data is released)– Competing policy agendas in a time of austerity (short vs
medium term pressures)
