Collaboration
Share data with others for systems change |
A data collaboration is a powerful method to share and analyse data between organisations across a sector to gain insights and understand impact.
It uses an independent data custodian to manage aggregation, privacy and analysis. Latitude Network has developed an effective method to facilitate and manage complex data collaborations for the social sector. |
Understand your whole sector at a glance...
When most or all of the service providers in a sector aggregate their data, a sector and its peak body has a powerful tool to 'see' the sector as a whole across whatever data is shared, such as:

... and also interact with your own data
We provide the option for linking live to your databases to provide (daily updated) interactive dashboards that pull only your individual organisation's data. This provides a cost-effective way to professionalise use of data across a whole sector, tailored to the specific needs of your organisations.
This presentation shows high level examples of the kinds of outputs, how a data collaboration works, how we address the challenges such as data ownership and privacy, and other common questions. You may have tried a data collaboration before that has run into barriers - talk to us about how we overcome the classic barriers to successful data collaboration.
We are currently running data collaborations in community education, alcohol and drug and homelessness sectors.

Latitude's process of bringing us together as a sector, measuring outcomes and the power of shared data analysis has been a game-changer for us. |
Benefits of a data collaboration

Get Started
If you think your sector could benefit from better data collaboration, get in touch and let us know. We’ll set up a meeting with your sector peak body or Alliance manager to assess readiness and explore whether a data collaboration can add value. We can build and run data collaborations from 5 to 100 organisations. Collaborations require a group to come together to agree on a course of action, so we often present to Boards or committees as a first step to gauge interest. The first step is a briefing to people can understand how it works and decide if our approach is a good fit for your needs.
