The global economy is undergoing a data-driven revolution. Exponential growth in the volume of personal and professional data is raising huge new opportunities and challenges for organisations and individuals. Properly processed and analysed, data can lead to radical innovations, enabling significant value creation. Worldwide revenues for big data analytics are estimated to grow from nearly $122bn in 2015 to more than $187bn in 2019, an increase of more than 50% over the period.However, whilst the enormous potential for data innovation to increase productivity across all organisations is widely recognised, many organisations will not benefit due to an acute skills shortage. PwC's 2015 Annual CEO Survey found that 80% of UK CEOs see data analytics as a key strand of their strategy and a source of competitive advantage, 73% believe that availability of key skills is a major threat. Subsequently, various Government funded reports have supported this conclusion, recognising that the digital skills gap is approaching crisis levels and finding that 'the wider set of big data skills are not being strategically addressed. Therefore, while analysis predicts that data will benefit the UK economy by up to £241bn between 2015 and 2020, the full extent of this opportunity is currently unrealised. The National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD) - previously referred to as the National Institute for Smart Data Innovation - will play a leading role in addressing this key problem that is holding back the UK, by creating a unique new facility which delivers data analytics skills into industry and the public sector by exploiting the knowledge and expertise currently locked within Universities. A flexible rolling programme of collaborative projects focussed on organisations' specific challenges and opportunities will transfer practical data skills into the workforce of those organisations. These projects will be supported by a range of related activities, including awareness raising events, themed business and technical seminars and technical training courses. The result of engagement with NICD will be to enable organisations to increase their productivity by optimising their existing operations, and to grow by launching new data-driven products and services. The UK economy and wider society will benefit from this increase in innovation through data.NICD's objectives are therefore:- To deliver insights that make UK organisations aware of the value of data to their business, and aware of the skills required to realise that value.- To deliver data analytics skills into the workforce of UK organisations, enabling them to create value from their data. - To connect UK organisations into networks of data skills so that they can continually learn with others how to innovate through data.Newcastle is an ideal location for NICD. It has one of the largest and fastest growing digital clusters in the country with strong representation from multi-national companies, including SAGE (the UK's largest software company), Hewlett Packard and Accenture, as well as significant public sector IT facilities, including the HMRC Digital Delivery Centre, and major commercial data centres.NICD's facilities will also be used to excite and educate students and schoolchildren about the opportunity for rewarding careers in the digital sector. This is another way in which it will contribute to tackling the key data skills gap.By providing world-class facilities and services under one roof, the NICD building will act as a 'beacon' for Data Innovation. It will accelerate innovation by delivering key technical and practical data skills into organisations, enabling them to improve their competitiveness and grow their business. Its activities will deliver economic growth and enable the UK to become a global leader in innovation through data.

全球经济正在经历一场数据驱动的革命。个人和专业数据量的指数级增长为组织和个人带来了巨大的新机遇和挑战。经过适当的处理和分析，数据可以带来彻底的创新，从而创造重大的价值。全球大数据分析的收入预计将从2015年的近1220亿美元增长到2019年的逾1870亿美元，在此期间增长超过50%。然而，尽管数据创新在提高所有组织生产力方面的巨大潜力得到了广泛认可，但由于严重的技能短缺，许多组织将无法受益。普华永道的2015年度CEO调查发现，80%的英国CEO将数据分析视为其战略的关键部分和竞争优势的来源，73%的人认为关键技能的可用性是一个主要威胁。随后，各种政府资助的报告支持了这一结论，认识到数字技能差距正在接近危机水平，并发现“更广泛的大数据技能没有得到战略性解决。因此，尽管分析预测，2015年至2020年期间，数据将使英国经济受益高达2410亿英镑，但这一机会的全部程度目前尚未实现。国家数据创新中心（NICD）-以前称为国家智能数据创新研究所-将在解决这一阻碍英国发展的关键问题方面发挥主导作用，通过创建一个独特的新设施，通过利用目前锁定在大学内的知识和专业知识，为工业和公共部门提供数据分析技能。一个灵活的滚动合作项目计划，重点是组织的具体挑战和机遇，将把实用的数据技能转移到这些组织的劳动力中。这些项目将得到一系列相关活动的支持，包括提高认识活动、商业和技术专题研讨会以及技术培训班。与NICD合作的结果将是使组织能够通过优化现有运营来提高生产力，并通过推出新的数据驱动产品和服务来实现增长。英国经济和更广泛的社会将受益于这种通过数据进行创新的增长。因此，NICD的目标是：-提供见解，使英国组织意识到数据对其业务的价值，并意识到实现这一价值所需的技能。为英国组织的劳动力提供数据分析技能，使他们能够从数据中创造价值。- 将英国组织连接到数据技能网络中，以便他们能够不断学习如何通过数据进行创新。纽卡斯尔是NICD的理想地点。它拥有该国最大和增长最快的数字集群之一，拥有包括SAGE在内的跨国公司的强大代表性（英国最大的软件公司）、惠普和埃森哲，以及重要的公共部门IT设施，包括HMRC数字交付中心，和主要的商业数据中心。NICD的设施也将被用来激发和教育学生和学童的机会，奖励职业在数字部门。这也是解决关键数据技能缺口的另一种方式。通过在同一屋檐下提供世界一流的设施和服务，NICD大楼将成为数据创新的“灯塔”。它将通过向组织提供关键的技术和实用的数据技能来加速创新，使他们能够提高竞争力并发展业务。它的活动将促进经济增长，并使英国成为通过数据创新的全球领导者。
