Apply new skills to your role

Instruction and application
In Progress

In this hackathon workshop, you focused on refining and strengthening an ML solution through experimentation, evaluation, interpretation, and evidence-based decision-making. The same approach can be applied directly in your day-to-day role.

Make stronger decisions through comparison and evidence​

Use the mindset from this workshop to strengthen decisions in your organisation:

  • Compare possible approaches rather than selecting the first option available.
  • Use evidence and measurable outcomes to justify decisions.
  • Consider trade-offs such as speed, simplicity, cost, or effectiveness.

Build solutions that work in practice​

Apply what you practised in this workshop to build more reliable solutions:

  • Revisit assumptions and refine ideas as new information becomes available.
  • Think about where limitations or uncertainty could affect outcomes.
  • Consider where human judgement, safeguards, or oversight may still be needed. This approach helps move work beyond initial ideas and toward solutions that are more robust, explainable, and practical to implement.

Action item: Share how you will apply new skills to your role.​

Think about a decision, process, or solution in your role that could benefit from further refinement or evaluation:

  • How could you test or improve the current approach rather than accepting the first solution?
  • What evidence or outcomes would help you decide whether a change is actually better?
  • What limitations, risks, or practical considerations would need to be addressed before moving forward?

Don't know where to start?​

Think about areas in your organisation where:

  • Different approaches or ways of working could be tested to improve outcomes.
  • Decisions involve trade-offs between speed, accuracy, cost, or user experience.
  • Results need to be explained clearly and supported with evidence before moving forward.
