Services: Building Data Capacity
Organizations working directly with households in need often have the potential to access and share the most insightful data. But the realities of limited budgets and bandwidth mean that there are often little to no resources available for analysis, data strategy development, and record maintenance.
After determining an appropriate fit, we partner with local service-providing organizations to identify and address internal data capacity goals through the services listed below.
Our strategy process starts with understanding your needs and questions before co-designing an appropriate data system solution. Our goal is to align your data strategy to your organization’s objectives and streamline data processes in collection, management, analysis, and reporting so you can better serve your clients and community.
Strategy
Setting up a new data collection system starts with learning about the purpose, goals, and parameters of your initiative. Gaining a deep understanding of your ecosystem helps us to identify the data that’s most valuable for you and how to collect it. From there, we co-develop a plan and advise on design, tools, and formats to ensure data collection meets your needs.
Collection
Building a data system requires close work with organizations to first understand their vision, business model, and pain points. This important pre-work allows us to recommend reliable, sustainable solutions that meet current needs while also being flexible enough to accommodate future innovation, adaptation, and growth.
Systems
Modeling provides critical insights into the future impacts of decisions you’re considering today. Data modeling utilizes the past and present to test scenarios and expose potentially unforeseen effects so you can make the best informed decisions. Our Hawai‘i Population Model is a powerful tool that we can customize to fit your needs.
Analysis & Reporting
Empowering organizations to utilize their own knowledge, external datasets, and collected data to the fullest potential that supports more adaptive and effective decision-making. We work with you to execute analysis plans, format data for reporting requirements, and visually present insights while also providing training along the way to ensure you’re able to sustain this capacity.
