Abstract:
|
Can statistics make a global impact and still meet the real needs of local people, and free of charge? In response to this intriguing question of "glocalization" - a newly coined blend of globalization and localization - leading professionals of Statistics Without Borders and StatCom will discuss the glocal impact of pro bono statistical consulting which takes bottom-line account of local considerations. A panel of academics and practitioners joining from SWB and StatCom will critically review what worked or not; demonstrate how to provide effective pro bono consulting with real examples, and recommend what next steps to take in order to make enduring glocal impact via a pragmatic vehicle of statistical consulting.
