Kinesis is an Australian company that builds technology that makes data reveal what it’s been hiding – by drawing together diverse data sets and adding a layer of knowledge and analysis that is powerful and artful, to connect dots that couldn’t otherwise be seen. The company is working with councils, universities and businesses across Australia. He discusses the federal election ‘poll-fail’ & why we’re getting data so wrong in the ‘big data’ era. How politics is stuck in a bygone era of spin and rhetoric, failing to address issues with actionable data. How this can change, what data sets are available to politics, businesses and more, and how they can effectively analyse them.
