Data Science and Management – Government Agency 

July 16, 2024

Scope / Challenge

INDEX recognises the critical importance of data science and data management for clients seeking informed, data-driven decision-making. We prioritise robust data governance frameworks that ensure reliable information and analytics capabilities. To enhance our advisory and support services, INDEX recently researched common data storage and access practices across our client base. 

Solution

Over three years, INDEX deployed actuarial specialists to a Government Agency. These EL1 Actuary (Professional Stream) consultants provided expertise in financial sustainability and risk analysis. Their contributions included: 

  • Financial Sustainability Monitoring: Continuously monitoring financial sustainability pressures within the agency. 
  • Actuarial Modelling & Analysis: Designing actuarial, statistical, and mathematical models to inform financial decision-making. 
  • Reporting & Data Management: Overseeing and managing reporting, analysis, and data management activities. 
  • Stakeholder Communication: Effectively communicating complex actuarial and statistical findings to various stakeholders. 
  • Annual Financial Sustainability Report (AFSR): Supporting the production of the AFSR, a critical component of the agency actuary’s responsibilities. 

Outcomes

  • Enhanced Expertise: INDEX’s research on data practices strengthens our ability to support clients’ data-driven strategies. 
  • Successful agency Collaboration: The successful three-year engagement with the agency demonstrates INDEX’s expertise in supporting financial sustainability objectives. 
  • Knowledge Transfer: Two INDEX consultants transitioned into permanent positions within the agency, ensuring continuity of their valuable work. 

This case study highlights INDEX’s commitment to: 

  • Data-Driven Decision Making: We equip clients with the data and analytical tools needed for informed decision-making. 
  • Financial Sustainability Expertise: We offer a team of experienced actuaries to support sound financial management. 
  • Strong Client Relationships: We build long-term partnerships with clients to achieve their strategic goals.
