Lessons learned • NZDFF vision and principles have strong support across varying stakeholders • However, broader public engagement process needed • Privacy protection and (increased) data transparency are critical to success • Every New Zealander should benefit from data use • Education is critical, including senior government leaders • Building capability amongst currently disadvantaged groups a priority (e.g. Māori) • Data interpretation of increasing importance for public policy: multidisciplinary skills, including social sciences, are key • Trusted, collaborative governance models (safe innovation ‘sandpits’) are critical • ‘Just do it’: start innovating and learning

Ministers’ response • Strong support for the NZDFF vision and principles • Extension of the open government programme • Review of all ‘information’ legislation and amendment of the Privacy Act • Establishment of a collective impact mechanism ‘NZ Data Futures Partnership’, an independent cross-sector group of influential people collaborating to drive high-trust and high-value data use for all New Zealanders
