The Disruptors - Innovation, Startups and Growth

Data science has infiltrated most enterprise organizations. But it’s also being used to improve the efficacy of organizations in the social sector.

My guest today is Andrew Means. Founder of Data Analysts for Social Good and Big Elephant Studios. Co-founder of BrightHive. Previously he was the founding executive director of Uptake.org and Associate Director at the University of Chicago’s Center for Data Science & Public Policy.

Andrew is an internationally recognized speaker on issues of data and philanthropy. On this episode we talk about how smart non-profits are taking advantage of data science to improve transparency and impact, how they’re overcoming issues around lack of data through unique collaborative models, and how organizations can grow a data competency in house.
