  Data heroes use data to expand social influence   The recent popular big data or artificial intelligence are all models based on cloud technology, computing or systems in the past five to ten years. "When the results are reported and beautified by the media, many units really want to try." Chen Jiening, project manager of D4SG, a think tank driver It is mentioned that the concept of data governance has been proposed for a long time, but with the information and communication capabilities of different generations, it has different appearances or results. However, if the organization's management thinking is still stuck in the paper age, there are still many challenges to be faced if it wants to use data for further application or drive organizational capabilities, and even the basic thinking of the two is different. D4SG Data Hero (D4SG Fellowship) is a public welfare program driven by think tanks. D4SG is the abbreviation of Data for Social Good. In the past seven years, it has assisted more than 40 non-profit organizations and 40 government agencies to experience the value of data. Project types include domestic violence early warning system, fire risk map, farmland soil pollution survey, air pollution survey, scheduling management at massage stations for the visually impaired, improving the quality and efficiency of public sector procurement... Hope to assist NGOs and government units, Through cooperation with the data science team, cross-domain dialogues are facilitated, and the value of data is mined to solve social problems.   Introduce data management thinking through project cooperation   "The biggest challenge for Taiwan's non-profit organizations in terms of data management is 'no data'," Chen Jianing pointed out. It is difficult to quickly use the system to grasp personnel arrangements. Most non-profit organizations are not familiar with data governance or the use of related data tools. During the contact process, they will also remind them that they can use relevant data tools or systems to effectively improve efficiency. "When you don't have a system, the data that can be stored is actually very limited. Excel data may be overwritten or missing due to various time or human factors." Master changes over time. It is difficult for organizations to enter into data governance when data cannot be accumulated and the quantity and quality of data are not enough. However, when an organization wants to move from paper-based management to data management, it does not simply import a system and require everyone to use it directly to proceed smoothly. Chen Jiening said: "If the system does not really help users, users will resist using it." Through quick trials, open up the communication methods of members with different backgrounds   Since the backgrounds of the volunteers participating in the Data Hero Project are very diverse, how to make good use of the expertise of the partners to stimulate different sparks of cooperation? Take the "Project Text Analysis System" proposed by the Improper Party Assets Handling Committee as an example. The unit's original proposal was to assist in the identification of information in historical documents. not easy. Therefore, when Chen Jiening communicated with the unit, he put forward suggestions on the content of small-scale experiments, assisted the committee to establish a custom dictionary, and assisted researchers to analyze the relationship between people or organizations from historical articles more quickly; and assisted in improving research Readability of results.
