Using Complex Data to Solve

Complex Problems

Scott Sinclair

A/Deputy Minister

Manitoba Infrastructure

• Manitoba is one of the most data rich and data

experienced provinces in Canada.

– Manitoba Population Research Data Repository

• Government has over 2000 business application

systems generating useable and analyzable data.

• Expertise in using complex data across systems and

sectors to measure outcomes such as factors impacting

children across their lifespan.

– MCHP and Healthy Child Manitoba Office (HCMO) have been

using such data to design programs and deliver public services

for nearly 25 years.

Overview

Initiatives in Progress

Data Driven Program Evaluations

Series of on-going quick turnaround data analytics

projects that look at pressing citizen needs and

opportunities to improve public services.

Data Analytics Projects

• Utilization patterns of high-needs clients in multiple

systems.

• Effectiveness of portable housing benefits to achieve

outcomes of reduced reliance.

• Impacts of various child welfare programs on the

outcomes of youth.

• Factors that contribute to the early apprehension of

children.

• The impact of wait lists on the outcomes of children

seeking services from Community Disability Services.

Examples:

Data Analytics Projects

Our Approach

Cross-departmental approach to look at multiple sets of data

related to complex policy and program delivery problems

within short project cycles (Quick Turnaround projects).

• Lessons learned to date:

– Need more resources to develop data capacity

– Focus on data analytics and data science is insufficient

– Conducting data-driven program evaluations and

launching a data science program within Manitoba is

more complexed than anticipated

– Need to mange expectations!

Vision for the Future

• Enhance data by expanding (IT) infrastructure, engaging

data professionals, and identifying program evaluation

needs and opportunities.

• Improve access to data across government (IT and

Legislative).

• Enable access to data while ensuring privacy and security.

• Develop stronger government/non-government

partnerships to increase the province’s data capabilities.

– This includes developing new roles and responsibilities for existing

partners such as MCHP, CHI, and MTP.

• Nurture a data-driven, evidence-based, data science

literate culture within government.
