DATA MATURITY WORKSHOPS
We believe in giving people the tools to facilitate conversations in their own communities. This page walks potential facilitators through how to run a Data Maturity Workshop. Our data maturity framework integrates data literacy, analysis, and strategic priority setting. We advocate for care-driven data engagement with a commitment to listening, performance culture, storytelling, and community building.
SECTION 1: CORE CONCEPTS
Data Maturity Workshops begin like all workshops: get people comfortable in the space and do introductions. Following that, move on to defining the core concepts.
Data Maturity
Data-to-Action Cycle
Performance Culture

Once the core concepts have been introduced, move on to Section 2: Data Exploration Activity.
SECTION 2: DATA EXPLORATION
The second section of the workshop invites members to take up one or more specific issues, review existing knowledge, interpret data, and create a data action plan.
