Irene’s Briefings
A monthly briefing unlike any other. Those who know Irene know her style - sharp, insightful and calling a spade a spade. Get her monthly thoughts on the data economy.
Monthly Community Check-In
Presenters employ evidence-based techniques, pairing theory with real-world case studies for immediate relevance.
The Knowledge Journey
Think you understand the data economy? There’s always another layer.
Embark on a learning journey to be an Architect of the Data Economy, starting with a 10-hour foundational course, offered every two months. From there, progress through design, practice and impact. Learn not just how the data economy works, but how to design and build within it.
Mentorship & Apprenticeship
Want to go beyond learning and start doing?
Apply to become a mentee or apprentice of one of our HCF Fellows. Work on real questions, develop your own ideas and get guidance through weekly clinic hours.
Places are limited. Curiosity, commitment and a willingness to be challenged are essential.
