Launching Analysis in Government Month 2022

The second Analysis in Government (AiG) Month will take place throughout May 2022 with the theme of #AnalysisCollaborate

Successful collaborations are the key to great working relationships and that’s why this year we’ll build on last year’s AiG Month (which had a theme of “Analysis Connect”) by exploring the brilliant things we can achieve by working collaboratively.

You can expect more insightful people stories, engaging events, interviews with senior leaders… plus we’ve even got an Evaluation Day and a Hackathon that you can get involved with.

There’s nothing better than bringing together different skills from diverse teams and we’re super excited to celebrate AiG Month with analysts from across government and beyond.

Don’t miss our launch event on Tuesday 3 May

AiG Month will include events, talks and activities covering interesting and useful content, and enabling you to connect with analysts from all different departments, grades and professions.

COMING SOON: Keep checking this page for our AiG Month preview… coming soon.

Inside the minds of our senior leaders

  • Analysis Function Leader Q&A: During the month, we’ll share insightful Q&A from senior leaders where we’ll ask pertinent questions affecting analysts across government, but also tackle the really important issues like scones… jam or cream first?!
  • Desert Island Discs: Head of the AF Sir Ian Diamond chooses eight recordings, a book and a luxury item that he would take if he were to be cast away on a desert island…

Challenge Analysts

  • The AF Hackathon: Form a team (across departments and professions) and work together on an analytical task, for example a data visualisation creation. We will crown the winning team!

Live events

We’re collaborating with a host of colleagues to bring you a range of interesting seminars throughout the month.

  • Analysis across Government: Analytical teams from departments such as HM Revenue and Customs, Ministry of Defence and the Office for National Statistics join us to explore analysis across government.
  • AFx launch: Find out about our new AFx events and how you’ll be able to get involved this year
