People & Leadership
Through workshops, coaching and professional development opportunities, we foster a data culture shift within organisations, empowering individuals to drive meaningful impact through data driven decision making.
Systems
Develop and improve the key data policies and procedures, the IT systems and the data strategy and roadmap that your organisation needs to make the most of data for continuous improvement, impact and funding.
Data tools
We guide teams in developing robust Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning frameworks and create data warehouses and dashboards to measure impact and improve performance. Combined with the necessary culture change, these become powerful tools.
Use of data
Ensure that data systems, skills and processes are effectively implemented by aligning the 'back end' of data with the 'front end' of people, enabling your teams to make better decisions and advance the organisation’s mission.

Join a diverse group of staff, including senior, junior, management and frontline employees, to become data champions for your organisation through a
12-month professional development journey, advancing data skills, leadership and the organisation's overall data capabilities.
We provide the program structure, templates, tools and training to empower you to mobilise others in the organisation around data.
We also develop the metrics frameworks, back-end data pipelines and data dashboards to bring data to useful and inspiring formats.
