Some brilliant photos from a brilliant event - Gala was really excited last month to connect with the next generation of data science professionals, engineers and those going into AI at The Data Lab - Innovation Centre for The Data Lab Academy's launch event. Alongside speaking to the 2024/45 cohort, eager to build careers in this area, she gave a key note speech on her career, and her work with diagonalWorks entitled 'The Entrepreneurial Spirit'. https://buff.ly/3YxA6XB

We are really looking forward to attending BE-ST Fest '24 tomorrow and exploring 'tangible and impactful actions' we can make, collectively, to work towards decarbonisation. If you are interested in taking action and improving the positive impact possible through urban planning decision-making , come along to Paisley Town Hall, Abbey Cl, Paisley PA1 1JF, on Wednesday 6th November 2024, 9am - 4pm. https://buff.ly/3UilSbR

Excellent news! We have been accepted as an approved supplier on the UK government's G-Cloud 14 framework. This is a really important step for our consultancy business. To be on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework will allow diagonalWorks to sit alongside companies we follow and respect and bid for exciting, innovative projects. As a small business, making procurement frictionless is a priority, and this next step should help our team continue to work on projects that put data-led decision making at the forefront in the urban planning space. If you are interested in talking about developing more equitable and inclusive places through open, collaborative strategic planning, data science and urban analytics please do get in touch. #DiagonalWorks #Consultancy #Procurement #GCloud14 #Planning #Urbanism #PlaceBuilding #Government #PublicSector #Accessibility #Inclusion

Did you know diagonalWorks can provide expert #GIS consultancy advice? We are experts in GIS technologies, as users and as developers. We appreciate how these technologies are used across sectors; we understand the intricacies of how they interact with broader digital solutions within an organisation. We are abreast of cutting edge technology and research in the space, and our consulting experience with organisations with varied levels of digital literacy allows us to deliver robust GIS strategies that take into account different skills and priorities. On top of that we bring nearly 15 years of planning expertise, during which we have been direct users of Local Planning Authority GIS systems and data. We understand the negative and financial impacts of underutilised software and/or inappropriate software decisions and the importance of coherent technical strategies that integrate with each other, particularly within the more specialised areas, such as GIS. If you think we can assist you or your organisation develop a best fit GIS strategy, do not hesitate to reach out to Gala Camacho or Veronica Barbaro - or email [email protected]. For any Local Authority partners, we are currently on the Perfect Circle framework so you can procure our services directly that way if relevant. #digitalplanning #gisconsultant #gisadvice #geospatialconsultancy #gisforplanning #gisforplanners

An incredible morning at the Geospatial Entrepreneurs Breakfast! I had the pleasure of attending the event at Geovation Scotland HQ today, and it was an inspiring experience from start to finish. The energy in the room was palpable as fellow geospatial enthusiasts and entrepreneurs gathered to share insights and connect. Hearing from the innovative startups MARKED and diagonalWorks was particularly enlightening. Their journeys in the geospatial space were filled with lessons on entrepreneurship, resilience, and the power of community support. The Q&A session that followed sparked great discussions, and I walked away with new ideas and perspectives. The networking session was the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. Polly Wong Aleksandra Czech-Seklecka Garance Locatelli. I’m excited about the new connections I made and the potential collaborations that could emerge. A big thank you to Geovation Scotland Scotland for hosting such a valuable event! #Geospatial #Entrepreneurship #Networking #Innovation #GeovationScotland
