Transforming lives with open data - a case study: making physical activity accessible to everyone.
Encouraging people from all backgrounds, and of all abilities, to engage in sport and physical activity is fundamentally good for society. But in the post-pandemic world getting people moving has become increasingly challenging. OpenActive is a UK community initiative led by Sport England and the ODI that seeks to unlock sport and physical activity data, making it easier for everyone to find and book activities. In this session representatives from sports bodies, leisure operators and other OpenActive stakeholders will discuss the OpenActive initiative and how it is making sport more accessible and transforming lives by unlocking data.
Bio
Having developed a strong foundation of 10 years finance experience in large-scale media and government environments, and 3 years applying my business acumen in the creation and application of behavioural insight, Allison is now the lead for the Innovation & Digital team within Sport England.
Their mission is to support others to apply innovation & digital in positive ways that help to improve the experience of getting active. They are particularly passionate about applying these areas to reduce the systemic inequalities and barriers that are stopping people from benefiting from being physically active.
