W(h)ine About Data
Introducing our podcast, W(h)ine About Data, designed to demystify data and offer professionals an outlet for practical learning in an informal environment! At TCG, we’re educators at heart, but even when we’re “teaching,” our approaches (that we’ve worked hard to simplify) can still seem daunting, overwhelming, and unrealistic for organizations in the trenches. This podcast is free and a small time commitment—making it great for busy individuals who want to grow their data muscle.
Our fun podcast breaks down even the most daunting data topics into manageable chunks, making them easily digestible and applicable to your everyday work.
We believe knowledge should be accessible to all, regardless of background or expertise. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious novice, our series welcomes you with open arms, friendly voices, and a glass of wine.

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!
Thank you for making a presentation about data that was approachable! I’ve participated in several workshops on data and measuring impact that were so theoretical that it’s a struggle to identify any practical takeaways. I appreciated your breakdown of data myths and trust and the reminder that the ultimate goal is to turn data into usable information and information into insight.
