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.

How it works

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.

What to expect

This is a learning and doing program designed to advance your organisation along the data maturity journey. Commitment is about 90 mins workshop and 2-3 hours tasks per month.

Monthly live online workshops

Every month we get together online for 90 minutes to learn skills, problem solve and advance the journey and tasks. It helps keep us on track.

Templates and tasks to do

To become a data-driven organisation, we need to advance our policies, systems and skills, decide what to measure and build dashboards for data analysis. Your cohort will work on these tasks each month with our guidance.

Monthly online learning modules

Between workshops, you'll access online learning modules on relevant topics that will also outline tasks to complete between sessions.

Collaboration and mobilising

You'll use an online chat space to collaborate with your colleagues on this project. Later in the program, you'll engage other colleagues and support them in better engaging with data.
