GovTech, Tableau renew partnership to deepen public officers' data skills

This is said to empower more public officers to understand and make use of data.

Analytics platform Tableau Software has renewed its agreement with the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) to train and deepen public officers’ capabilities in data analytics and visualisation, according to a media release.

The memorandum of intent (MOI), signed on 7 July, is said to empower more public officers to understand and make use of data, transform the public sector’s operations with data-driven decisions, and accelerate the country’s digitalisation movement.

Under the new agreement, Tableau and GovTech will engage in knowledge sharing of resources, industry best practices and tools to continue strengthening the abilities of public officers within the government. Public agencies will also have access to updated Tableau content, learning resources and subject matter experts.

GovTech’s chief executive Kok Ping Soon said that the collaboration will support the agency in building a digitally-ready and data-literate workforce to transform public service delivery.

Tableau has been working with GovTech since 2017 with thousands of public officers trained with visual analytics skills.

As part of the ongoing partnership, Tableau organises Communities of Practice for analytics leaders in the government, where directors and program leads discuss and share best practices and their vision for data analytics. Tableau also actively shares content assets to build the public sector’s knowledge base.

In addition, Tableau has been a key partner of GovTech’s annual Data Arcade Tournament (DAT) which connects data science enthusiasts and practitioners from across the government. It has also conducted workshops to train public officers’ data science capabilities and help them better understand their data via interactive visualisation tools and uncover deeper insights.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
