What happens when water companies stop competing on data

What happens when water companies stop competing on data?

Melissa Tallack believes the biggest opportunities don’t come from solving problems alone. They come from sharing data, learning from other industries and building on what already works.

In this episode of The Digital Lighthouse, Melissa joins Zoe Cunningham to discuss how the Stream initiative is helping water companies collaborate on open data, why breaking down silos creates value for everyone, and what the water sector can learn from rail, energy, health and beyond.

Together they discuss:

* Why open data creates more value when industries collaborate. * How Stream is transforming data sharing across the water sector. * Breaking down organisational, industry and cross-sector silos. * Why culture matters as much as technology. * How citizen science could become one of the UK’s most valuable data sources. * Why the best ideas often come from outside your own industry.
