\"\"<\/a>“I think it’s about making a difference in the world. To believe that by working with data and metadata and technologies, and making data available to data scientists, to researchers, but also probably even more importantly to decision makers and policymakers, making high quality data so they can make the right decision – that’s what drives me about working with data, just to make sure whoever has the potential to make the world a better place has the right information in order to be able to make the right decisions. \u00a0I want to be optimistic. \u00a0You know, things can be better. \u00a0But I believe in people. \u00a0What I find is a lot of data problems can be easily resolved. \u00a0It’s not a technology problem.\u00a0 It’s not a standards problem. \u00a0I mean, there’s maybe a data quality problem.\u00a0 But at the end of the day, the biggest problem is change management – people changing the way they work.\u00a0 And resistance to change is the ultimate hurdle.\u00a0 It’s a human problem for sure.\u00a0 That\u2019s the biggest challenge.\u00a0 And that’s why I really like to try to inspire people to see what we can do.\u00a0 Because if you get that energy and passion to make things happen, it’s really worth it.\u00a0 And I think inspiring people is a big thing, as well as to convince them that you should just take one little step at a time because it’s gonna get better if you do it. A lot of the things we’re struggling with today could have been resolved ten years ago or even fifteen years ago, if people would say, ‘Yeah, let’s just do it. Let’s not worry.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
