Global Industry Marketing at #SASInnovateOnTour London. 👏 What an inspiring last couple of days exploring the power of #data, #AI, #GenAI with some fantastic speakers, in an iconic venue 🏏 and what made it even more special was meeting some of my colleagues including Elisabeth Marie Peter Alyssa Farrell Stefan Borensjö Mark Lambrecht Bas Belfi Reena Mistry in person. Thank you #SAS 🩵

Best way to start the year for #SASinGovernment with Front Line Kickoffs and EMEA & AP Government Industry Days attended by over 150+ SAS colleagues from all over the world. Loved hearing from our clients, partners and teams about amazing customer success stories, government trends and different SAS uses-cases in governments around the world. Special thanks to our awesome colleagues Ensley T. Sophie Peremans Ulrike Bergmann Matthijs Babeliowsky, hosts Patrick O.

Thank you Jennifer Robinson, SAS and the Global Government Forum for having given me the opportunity to interview four experts on one of the most complex and fascinating topics of our times: healthy ageing and, more particularly, how technology can contribute to healthy ageing? In this interview, Andrea Covino, Mark Wolff, Lars Kirdan and John Maynard, CPA, CFE, AHFI explain how governments can use artificial intelligence and analytics to help citizens enjoy a healthier, happier, safer and more fulfilled life. My favourite takeaway is that "we need to think about ageing as an information problem, not a healthcare, economic nor societal problem. To advocate for compassionate ageing – and to make the right decisions – we must gather the data related to a life." READ here: https://lnkd.in/dhZQWZ9S

One year ago, I joined SAS. I remember that day vividly as it was a very special day in the UK. It was the day after the state funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 19 September 2022. Little did I know about how much SAS would change my perception of work and the power of technology. Little did I also know about the impact AI and analytics can have on governments and the people they serve around the world. Thank you to all the inspiring and lovely colleagues for making these last 365 days so fun and special Tara Holland Jennifer Robinson Katrina Wakefield Glynn Newby Elisabeth Marie Peter Alex Kwiatkowski Afshin Almassi Patrick O. Pongratz Henrik Ernlund Pedersen Ensley T. Andrea Covino, and many others. And special thanks to my Leaders for trusting me to do something different, in an industry I had never worked before Lee Ann Dietz Mark D. Demers Alena Tsishchanka Thomas Roehm. #SASlife 💙

And that is why I love the use of data analytics by Governments. Also why I love the company I work for SAS. Check out this video: 👇👇👇

Live from the Public Service Data Conference — enjoying a fascinating session on « Why is ‘Big Data’ not scary » and how can companies such as SAS help governments make Big Data work better for their citizens and use Big Data to improve their agencies’ services. Thank you Melissa Helmer and Global Government Forum for putting together this great event.
