Social Value Measurement and Indexing

数据绩效咨询公司（DPC）是一家有限公司，专门从事使用数据驱动方法改善与政策如何应用于现有系统（即采购）相关的社会结果。具体来说，DPC在智慧城市领域开发了工作流程，将城市的核心治理与城市空间中的应用程序设计和实施联系起来。DPC面临的一个关键挑战是如何通过引入影响的自动化测量来扩展其工作流程。目前的工作流程确定了系统可以改进的领域，但这种联系通常是通过工作人员的人工干预来完成的。DPC的目标是转向一种自动化模型，这种模型需要将数据与组织结构和流程联系起来。要实现这种DPC，需要专业的自然语言处理（NLP）专业知识来构建组织内的数据和实体/流程模型，以捕获关系，从而实现基于知识的自动化操作处理。哈特里中心是一个国家级的NLP中心，与他们一起应对这一挑战的机会是这次申请的动力。这将使DPC能够创建可扩展和可重用的模型，这些模型可以链接到数据，从而实现社会结果的自动测量。

Data Performance Consultancy (DPC) is a limited company specialising in improving social outcomes related to how policy is applied on existing systems (i.e. procurement) using a data driven approach. Specifically DPC have developed workflows within the Smart City sector linking the core governance of a city to application design and implementation within the urban space. A key challenge DPC faces is how it can scale its workflows by introducing automated measurement of impact. Currently the workflows, identify areas in which a system can be improved, but often this linkage is done by manual intervention of staff. DPC aims to move to an automated model which requires linking data to organisational structures and processes. To enable this DPC requires specialist Natural Language Processing (NLP) expertise to build models of data and entities / processes within organisations to capture relationships, enabling knowledge based automated processing of actions. The Hartree Centre is a national centre for NLP and the opportunity to work with them on this challenge is the motivation for this application. This will enable DPC to create scalable and reusable models that can link to data in order to enable the automated measurement of social outcomes.
