I have a blog post up on the MHCLG blog about the Demand Modelling Tool 2.0, developed by Social Finance and Data to Insight based on an original concept from Kent County Council. Click the link to read more:

This is a great example of the kind of work we can do through Data to Insight -- drawing in expertise and ideas from a dozen different councils and developing a complex tool very quickly. I'm eager to get feedback from LAs who are using the tool, but the bigger question as we look forward is probably "what do we want to do next with those same capabilities?"

Update: there are further blog posts here and here if you'd like to read more.
