Framework Business Case for Opening Data

Increases accountability to our taxpayers/voters

Helps businesses innovate, so the economy grows and makes the country/city richer

Engages citizens in improving public services

Improves our own efficiency

Costs little or nothing

We’ll work better with other public agencies

The less we say the more people

will trust us

In public services, producers know what’s best

for consumers

[Citizens should shut up and be grateful they get

anything]

It’s not our job to help business and

civil society innovate and grow

Page 9: Track L Stott

We have the money, skills and time to make all

the websites and mobile apps

citizens would ever need

We won’t share our data with other

public agencies unless they beg us

for it privately

We won’t share our data with other

public agencies unless they beg us

for it privately

After all, we don’t need their data 13

Page 14: Track L Stott

So we have to release something?

And it benefits business?

So let’s charge for it

Making money is our agency’s prime mission.

Page 17: Track L Stott

Making money is our agency’s prime mission.

The good of the country/city and its people comes

second.

Page 18: Track L Stott

(That’s why we joined the civil service rather than

becoming bankers)

Intellectual Property Management is a higher priority to us than curing patients, teaching kids,

catching criminals, keeping the streets clean

Much of the money we collect will be lost in the

costs of collecting it

20

Page 21: Track L Stott

Much of the money we collect will be lost in the

costs of collecting it

But at least we’ll be providing jobs to lawyers

and accountants21

Page 22: Track L Stott

If only a few people buy our data, we might lose

money overall

Page 23: Track L Stott

If only a few people buy our data, we might lose

money overall

But we can always sack some front line staff to

pay for the lawyers23

Eventually the Ministry of Finance will spot our “extra

income”, and subtract it from our central grant

Eventually the Ministry of Finance will spot our “extra

We’ll be no better off, but we will have more lawyers

We’re happy to charge other public agencies for

our data.

Page 27: Track L Stott

We’re happy to charge other public agencies for

our data.

They would not dare to charge us for their data

Page 28: Track L Stott

There’s no evidence that Open Data leads to economic growth

28

Page 29: Track L Stott

the fact that all the economic studies are

against us just shows that they are all wrong

29

Page 30: Track L Stott

and economists are all mad anyway

and economists are all mad anyway

especially Rufus Pollock

Anyway, the benefit would go to our country/city

Anyway, the benefit would go to our country/city

Our business is not about helping them.

Our business is about

helping ourselves34
