Ongoing Data Partnership to Manage, Support, and Understand Impact
The Challenge
Geminus Head Start collects so much data for its federal and state reporting requirements. However, it resides in multiple systems that do not connect. They sought our help to create a customized board report and interactive dashboard that would connect their data systems for easier use with their staff. In addition, they needed our assistance to equip their team with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to understand their data system and results better.
The Solution
Together, we accomplished the following:
- Aligned data with program goals and benchmarks
- Gathered and connected over 20 data sources
- Created a customized dashboard that visualizes all benchmarks and can filter data across 30+ sites and other key indicators
- Trained staff on data terms and using the dashboard to make data-informed decisions
- Identified and made improvements to their data collection process and procedures
- Developed impact teams to review the data and make program improvement recommendations
The Outcomes
- Developed a team interactive dashboard around program outcomes.
- Trained team members to build their capacity for data understanding and management
- Reviewed and developed data collection and analysis processes
- Gathered quantitative, qualitative, and internal data; data analysis and draft summary report, needs assessment with designed report, infographic, and data dashboard
