Description

This week I am joined by Nathaniel 'Natty' Raymond - Executive Director of Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale University. Co-founder of Sentinel Satelites (with one George Clooney, yes that  George Clooney), Nathaniel has worked a huge variety of roles including war crimes investigator and media consultant, but now refers to himself as an accidental geographer.

He takes us through his idea of 'The BLIMP'. The BLIMP is a standardised method of gathering, storing, and sharing data between organisations into one common operational picture (COP). He takes us through the current pitfalls of such a plan and why it has been so difficult to achieve, from working in silos, data ownership, and sensitivity of data.
