Since the October IIM newsletter, there was a plethora of interesting events, meetings and happenings related to our industry.  The world of information is not showing any signs of slowing down.  From the world summits on using geographic information and earth observations in Canberra, our own seminar on “Artificial Intelligence at Work” that was broadcasted around the globe, to the opening of the exciting exhibition “SPY: Espionage in Australia” at the National Archives of Australia last night.

You can read about some of the exciting news and interesting activities and themes in this issue.

Your IIM also had our Annual General Meeting, which celebrated a very successful year with activities and events held across our country and set foundations for exciting 2020.

GEO Week provides a unique forum where governments, businesses, the research community, non-for-profit organisations and other communities concerned with the well-being of our planet come together to share views, mature the overall vision for the GEO future, cooperate on issues and create solutions.

Building on the Mexico City Declaration from 2015, the GEO Week 2019 focused on the GEO Strategic Plan aiming to bring the GEO communities together in order to grow the understanding and importance of Earth Observations.  Most of the business decisions today need to carefully consider how they impact the changes of “GEO”, our planet.

National Archives of Australia Media Release for World Digital Preservation Day

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Increasingly, the things we want to keep have been created and stored on digital media, from floppy disks to digital video cassettes. Alarmingly, many once-modern formats are now considered ‘critically endangered’. According to the worldwide Digital Preservation Coalition, such formats include portable magnetic media more than 5 years old, including floppy disks, Zip disks, reel-based magnetic tape, MiniDV and digital audio tape (DAT).
In securing our digital heritage, the National Archives of Australia has led the way in preserving and migrating files on these at-risk media to sustainable formats.

Vladimir Videnovic National President
Dear fellow information professionals
I am pleased to present the IIM Newsletter in a new ‘look and feel’, the result of the hard work by our directors Linda Shave and Robert Goode – a huge thanks to them.
In the last couple of months, we have held a couple of successful activities:
  • in Perth their August seminar "Business Intelligence and Information Management using out of the box SharePoint and Outlook365";
  • in Canberra on the 29th Aug (jointly organised with DAMA Australia) we held the inaugural seminar of a series of dedicated to the field of Artificial Intelligence, called AI@Work. 
The inaugural AI@Work seminar was very well attended, and we are now working on the next session, with the theme "Ethics in AI".   As we did with the first seminar, we plan to broadcast this seminar live via internet so our interstate community can participate in this exciting event.  
A copy of Perth's August seminar and the recording of the first "AI@Work" video are available on IIM’s website.
I hope that you will enjoy reading articles prepared for you in this newsletter.  Please provide us with your feedback on the content and the new look of your IIM eNewsletter (please send feedback to iim@iim.org.au).

Unified Customer View - Customer Master Record Solution (CMRS) and Data Management Platform (DMP)
City of Sydney desires to improve our understanding and the way we communicate with  our customers and stakeholders.  Initially this will be by development of a trusted Customer Master Record Solution (CMRS), bringing together our disparate customer records.  This will allow us to make updates across all relevant systems, facilitating excellent customer service and streamlining internal processes. It is envisaged that the solution will be developed on a Data Management Platform (DMP), which should improve Data Quality and reinforce Data Governance.
Via an open Expression of Interest, companies will be invited to propose their capability and  solutions.  They will be evaluated by their proposals for inclusion in a subsequent paid engagement to demonstrate abilities, proof of concept and innovative value add.  During this engagement, companies will have the opportunity to better understand the problems, request additional information, and identify opportunities for unique value add.
Selection for a final contract award will be by evaluating the deliverables at the end of the engagement.
If you are interested in being involved in this upcoming Expression of Interest, please provide your contact details in this link by the 18th of October 2019 to be notified when this event opens.

Monica Barone
Chief Executive Officer.

Rethinking the digital dividend: Government needs to deliver better citizen digital experiences. Deloitte and Adobe.
Australian government agencies are making the transition to digital experience platforms.  
Improved digital experiences have higher levels of satisfaction and can improve perceptions of government effectiveness and trust. This is important because trust in the Federal Government has been declining - from 49% in 2015 to just 42% in 2019. And while trust can wax and wane over time for a variety of reasons, Australia currently sits within the ranks of 16 national governments worldwide that are more distrusted than trusted (Edelman, 2019).
This eBook suggest that Governments need to renew their commitment to digital transformation – not with more 'IT projects' - but by focusing on improving and simplifying citizen experiences of government services, though better use of data and build digital platforms that support it.

Guide to Developing a National Cybersecurity Strategy - ITU
The National Cybersecurity Strategy Guide, is aimed at providing an aggregated and harmonised set of principles and good practices on the development, establishment and implementation of national cybersecurity strategies.
Facilitated by ITU, twelve partners from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society agreed to share their experience, knowledge and expertise, producing a Guide that gathers existing know-how from the participating organisations as well as providing references to complementary publications, in order to ease access to available resources.
Cybersecurity is a fundamental factor in achieving socio-economic development. Yet, only seventy-six countries around the world have, publicly available, national cybersecurity strategies. It is therefore imperative to boost efforts to produce them. As the title suggests, the objective of the Guide is to instigate strategic thinking and help national leaders and policy-makers to develop, establish and implement national cybersecurity strategies

The following talks and Q&A from the recent UTS event.

Passiona Cottee: https://youtu.be/0h3ekHQCK9M
Matthew Beard: https://youtu.be/Hk9bKuCRYsA
Elija Perrier: https://youtu.be/d8f34_ND2lc
Tiberio Caetano:https://youtu.be/NSkbIu2ILvc
Panel: https://youtu.be/MTfhCOTyPkM

Data is now seen as a key resource and artificial intelligence applications are being used more and more by businesses and governments for decision-making, optimization and automation. It is becoming increasingly clear that if these activities are badly managed, people can suffer harm as a result of bad decisions, thoughtless design, and embedded prejudices. This session will explore the practicalities of:
  • Understanding the broader impact and risks of data design decisions.
  • Engaging the right stakeholder groups to ensure these risks are mitigated.
  • Making trade-offs in the design process.

Passiona Cottee collaborates on projects at the nexus of data, automation, privacy and ethics across both public and private sectors. She currently works as data scientist at the CBA and a sessional lecturer in privacy law at UTS. Passiona fuses Bachelor, Graduate and Masters qualifications in law and data science to enable the ethical use of machine learning.

Dr Matt Beard is a husband, dad, pop culture nerd and moral philosopher with an academic background in applied and military ethics. He is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Matt is also a Fellow at The Ethics Centre, undertaking research into ethical principles for technology.

Elija Perrier is a PhD candidate in quantum machine learning & AI at UTS. He is also a professional support lawyer at Hall & Wilcox.

Tiberio Caetano is Chief Scientist at the Gradient Institute. He has spent the last 20 years working on machine learning in numerous roles as a student, researcher, academic, entrepreneur and practitioner. He spent 10 years at NICTA and in 2012 he co-founded Ambiata, a data science NICTA spin-off focusing on applying rigorous scientific methodologies for personalised decision-making using machine learning, causal inference and randomised controlled trials.
