People & Culture

People and Culture Working Group (PCWG) is a community forum for learning, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. We connect on common priorities and challenges to share best practices and lived experiences on all things data. Inclusivity is at our bedrock where we invite data practitioners and stakeholders of all classifications and levels with diverse educational and professional backgrounds to participate.

Our mandate is to transmit the knowledge and value of data to transform the people and culture around data and data literacy. Critical inquiry and reflection on issues and challenges faced by the community provide opportunity for collective intelligence building and collaborative approaches to problem-solving, which can create new ways of thinking and doing. In turn, members can bring back knowledge and ideas to their networks and advance discussions further.

Data Science Network

The Data Science Network for the Federal Public Service is a community that builds data science capacity by sharing data science methods across the Government of Canada and the greater data science community. The network allows the public service to benefit from the use of automation and new data sources. Members share information on training, best practices, innovative projects and accomplishments and other data science related themes.

Discussion questions

• The future of natural language processing and machine learning: Speculate about the potential impact of NLP and machine learning on the government, as well as on industries such as healthcare, finance, and education. Discuss the challenges that must be overcome to realize this potential.
• The impact of data science on society: Explore the ways in which data science is shaping the world around us, from personalized advertising to predictive policing. Discuss the ethical considerations that arise when using data science and machine learning, such as privacy, bias, and fairness.
• The future of data science education: Discuss the skills that will be necessary for future data scientists, and explore different strategies for educating and training the next generation of data scientists.
