Episode 2 – How to Build a Data Informed Culture

In this Episode of W(h)ine About Data, we’re sharing our #DataInformed Approach!

At Transform Consulting Group, data informs everything we do.

“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.” ~ Carly Fiorina

A data-informed organization blends the “lived experience” and knowledge of staff with objective data to make data-informed decisions. Many of our clients have data but don’t know what to do with it. That’s why we’ve come up with a simple approach to use data to make an impact. This episode shares an overview of the 4 components that make up a data-informed organization:

Clear metrics
Data access
Data literacy
Leadership buy-in

Follow along as we break down each of these components in our next episodes!
